Title: New 2 into 1 brake lines, not bleeding properly
Post by: Nomad on May 02, 2012, 05:18:32 PM
I just got new brake and clutch lines.  Bled my clutch line like normal, no issues whatsoever.

My new brake lines are an alt 2 into 1.  One separate hose from each caliper to the MC.  I had to run to the store and grab a double banjo, got what appears to be the right size. 10x1.0.

When I try to bleed my brakes I'm getting NOTHING through the reservoir, I can sit there doing the pump the handle, open the bleed screw, close the brake, close the bleed screw, let the brake go, etc.  forever and I don't get any fluid out at all.

Is there a different system for the 2 into 1 line, or is it possible that my banjo bolt isn't the right one, it appeared that everything lined up find on it, everything is torqued to spec.
