Brake Troubles 200 1983

posted by  someone claiming to be toofourdy on  Mon Aug 23 03:48 CST 2004 [RELATED]

I replaced the pads and rotors on my 83 245 this weekend. I unbolted the wrong bolt to remove one of the front calipers (I think they're Girling on the front and possibly ATE on back) and let quite a bit of air into the system. So, after I replaced all the pads and rotors and inspected everything for leaks, I attempted to bleed the system. It was dark by this point, and so my bleeding was haphazard. Anyway, the car will slow and stop now, but it appears that while the front brakes are working fine, one of the rear brakes is not engaging at all (it was before I did the work) and the other appears to be engaging almost too much and is scoring the rotor significantly. Is this indicative of a poor job at bleeding? Would that cause one rear brake to engage and the other not to engage?
