Well, I've had it. I hit the end of my rope tonight. I've got all the calipers bleeding via gravity.....nice slow drip, drip, etc., except......
Left front will do same from top bleeder, but totally dry from the two in the middle. I've tried the gravity method....letting it sit for half an hour. I've used my Easy Bleed, (I think that's the name), which uses 20 lb max air pressure from tire, and today a local ex-Volvo mechanic loaned me his $300 vacuu bleeder that he says he used on all his Volvo work in the past.
Nothing.
I even left 20 pounds standing pressure, (from the tire), on the system at the master cylinder fill cap for 15 minutes and nothing. (OK test for the rest of the system I guess)
So unless someone on this forum can see what I've missed, I'm calling FCP Groton Monday and asking for a replacement. It must be blocked internally.
Getting really disgusting. There were no dimple marks on this caliper either; I knew, (and did), check for them to try to tell if they were of mixed, (R/L), assembly. Went through that problem once, which was enough. Wish we had more reliable ReMans......
Thanks Everyone,
Dennis
