Hi,
I've just replaced the rear discs and pads on my 96 P38 DT and decided to renew the brake fluid. I followed the instructions in the workshop manual but hit a problem when I got to the rear brakes. According to the manual I turn on the ignition and press the brake peddle and the fluid should flow from the opened bleed screw. This happened the first time but after that nothing. I tried the other wheel and the same thing. I get no fluid from the opened bleed screw
. The peddle also developed a pronounced clunk when coming up although this went off after bleeding the front wheels again as per the manual. Any ideas why I'm not getting fluid out the rear bleed screws? The brakes seem to be working fine otherwise but I'd like to finish bleeding the system.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
mikeateves
