Another 245 brake question[ALL/1998] posted by alan gondry on

I took your advice by replacing the mastercylinder. No more fade, but according to the revision in the haynes manual, it says to bleed the brakes front to back vice the special method they had for each bleed valve. I have brake drag and also my pedal goes halfway down before engaging.

What is the best way to bleed? The pedal travel is this related? The brakedrag is this for the same reason?

Also what kind of calipers on the rear? Girling? ATE?

Thanks,

alan
