Front brake bleeding problem

Post by saleenvp »

When i take off one of the banjo fittings in the front and pinch it, then pump the lever, all i can feel is a little pulsing. There is nowhere near enough pressure to actually squirt fluid out from between my fingers. I just installed a MC rebuild kit and its still doing it. Any ideas?

First off what you are doing by trying to pump brake fluid thro your skin is VERY bad for your health. !!!

When you say you did a MC rebuild did you replace the pump rod that the seals fit on .?
