January 12, 20179 yr New to the forum and of course I have a problem. Legacy is 2 years old and decided to bleed brakes when doing tire rotation. Used a vacumn bleeder and when I finished I have no pedal resistance. I did not follow sequence as rotation did not match up. Never had a problem on older vehicles. Where did I screw up?
January 12, 20179 yr did you let the reservoir go dry or religiously top it off as you proceeded? did you leave one bleeder open when working at a different caliper?
January 12, 20179 yr Author Kept reservoir full. One bleeder open at a time. Was sucking air around bleeders. Will try teflon tape and proper diagonal bleed sequence.
January 12, 20179 yr I have been using vacuum bleeder for years. Try gravity bleed: open the bleeder screw and let the brake fluid drip. Watch for air bubbles. When done close the bleeder screw and move to another wheel. Make sure you have the master cylinder full. Good luck, Sam
January 12, 20179 yr if it's just air at the bleeders - re-doing the procedure as you said should straighten it out.
January 13, 20179 yr Did you leave the cap open on the MC while bleeding? I've found on some cars you have to leave the cap open to get them to bleed properly.
January 13, 20179 yr Author I started a new post above with some weird results. Yes, I left cap loose Thanks, guys
