Bleeding Brakes

[Corey]

Hey everyone im new here but anyway i recently bleed my brakes and i would have the brakes depressed and fluid would come out clean but i would get tiny and i mean tiny air bubbles and just one or two is this anything to worry about?

As long as the large bubbles are out and you pump it a few more times once they are gone and the pedal feels firm you should be fine.

I would continue until a solid line of brake fluid
comes out.

Probably not. Many times air sneaks in at the bleeder valve threads so it might just be coming from there. If you have good pedal feel I wouldn’t worry about it.

Hey guys, a friend and I finally got his build completed after two years + and he went to load it onto the trailer the brake pedal went right to the floor. We bled the brakes and on the rear cal. the fluid looked gross it was like a yellow cream color. It finally turned to the normal color and all bubbles were gone on the rest of the cals but the pedal still felt a bit spongy. I wanted to know if moisture could of got into the ABS system and could that affect it. Thanks for the help guys/girls

It does sound like it was water or moisture.

I was thinking of doing a gravity bleed on it seeing if that would help. not sure if there is moisture in the abs lines I hope not.

Moisture in the system is not good at all. I’d bleed the system out till I was sure it was all gone. This video may also help you.

Ok, I was going to help him out this weekend with it. I might need to try the lock up after we bleed everything. Thanks a lot Eric.
