First attempt at filling and bleeding went about as expected - not well. I found several fittings I thought I had previously snugged tight but leaks showed I did a half-azzed job. The rear brakes seemed to gravity fill and flush most air out as far as I could tell. But the front Camaro brakes are giving me fits. One of them just runs continuous air. I spent probably 2 hours watching air bubble through the line from somewhere. There are no leaks that I can find. I suspect the bleeder screws. These first two are video clips.
I tried coating the bleeder to caliper area with dielectric grease in an attempt to cut off air from being drawn back around the bleeder. I tried pumping the pedal slowly to know effect - it just forced brake fluid out around the bleeder screw.
Ever see anything like that? Air bubbles never let up.
I did notice that the pistons in the Camaro units are still withdrawn and the pads are not close to the rotors. I'm wondering if this air could be coming around a cocked piston and seal. You can see the gap in this photo.
I didn't see Kevin2's response about raising the front of the car way up, but I think I have some other problem. It may just be a real loose bleeder screw, I don't know. I gave up after about 5 hours. I think I sweated off about 5 lbs today. I will probably wait for cooler weather and put my wife in the seat for the old stroke-hold - loosen bleeder - tighten bleeder - release brake - etc.
I hate brake bleeding.
