(40 brake bleeding 900

posted by  someone claiming to be Grassman on  Mon Dec 20 12:43 CST 2010 [RELATED]

I replaced the front brake pads,calipers,and brake hoses and having a problem getting a firm pedal. When I took the hoses off the fluid level dropped to just below the min. mark. Do the rear have to be bled also? The master brake cylinder has 2 brake bleeders on it and is there anything that has to be bled with these? I never saw bleeder nipples on a master brake cyl. I have never had an issue bleeding brakes like this,kinda embarrassing. The car is a 1993 940 SW with ABS. Thanks in advance. Matt

    FWIW I had better results when bleeding the brakes if I had the car level and not lifted only at one end.
    IMO you should also bleed the rear brakes while your at it. Brake fluid is a consumable, change it at least every two years.
