Help bleeding brakes
I own a 2002 Mustang GT and I'm having a hard time bleeding my brakes. I recently did a brake swap, i put cobra brakes on the rear, I got this from a 2004 Cobra, I got the brackets, rotors, calipers and brake lines. I started doing the standard procedure i read online, sequence: passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front. So I had a person in the car pump the brake pedal 5 or 6 times, then hold the pedal down, while I open the bleeder valve and fluid and bubbles would come out, also I've been refilling the master cylinder to make sure there's fluid in there, so i did that for a while without any luck. Also I bought one of those brake bleeding kits shown below
![]() Then a friend suggested i bleed the lines that go from the master cylinder to the abs module Shown below So after bleeding this lines until only fluid would come out I started the sequence all over, I got the passenger rear and driver rear lines done. I started on the driver front and that's where I'm having a problem, when I open the bleeder very little fluid and a lot, i mean a lot of air comes out, I was on the passenger front line for about an hour and a half and still the same amount of air would keep coming out. I checked for leaks, and didn't find any. So I really don't know what the problem could be. I would really appreciate if anyone has any advice on what I should do Thank you!!! SErg |

if the other lines are good, and only that line is giving nothing but air, there has to be a leak some where

I put some teflon tape and not as much air and more fluid came out, i think the bleeding screw had too much play

you should only have to crack the bleeder just a little bit. and you don't really need to pump them up. what i do is have the helper push the pedal down, and while they are holding it down, crack the bleeder, let it bleed out, then close it and have them release the pedal. i do this procedure enough times to get it to where no air comes out, and then move to the next one.

yea you should not have to bleed it much at all either to get it cleaned out. it sounds like you have faulty hardware somewhere

your friend is right, on these cars, you must start at the master cylinder. start over at the master cyl & you should be ok.
