  • Bleeding Brakes

    I'm having problems getting all the air out the braking system. I had to renew all the fixed brake pipes and I now seem to have air still in the rear brakes somewhere.
    I've got the trucks rear wheels off the ground and if I run it in gear and press the brake not much happens.
    One thing I have noticed is that much less fluid is coming through the bleed nipple on the rear brakes compared with the fronts. Is that normal as I don't have a compensator valve on my 3rd Gen. I'm not sure how it knows how much brake bias to split between front and rear. I wondering if the lack of fluid coming through is a clue as to why the brakes are so sh1t...

    Any ideas gratefully received

    Are the rear shoes properly adjusted? Plenty of 'meat' on them?

      You don't have a bias valve on ABS equipped vehicles.

      Try it with the ignition on, so the ABS pump is primed, sometimes you just have to bleed it and bleed it and bleed it, they can be temperamental buggers.

          Yes rear shoes adjusted to perfection.. I've not got the ABS sensors connected so the ABS light is on. This being the case would that stop the ABS pump priming.
