Brake bleeding


Recommended Posts

I have renewed the rear brake cylinders on my 4A. When bleeding I cannot get fluid through the left hand bleeder. I have disconnected the pipe and no fluid flows through, the brake pedal is solid and no matter how hard you press it. The o/s bled ok. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Phil,

There could be a blockage possibly in the flexible pipe connected to the solid pipe next to the slave cylinder.. These can fail after many miles.

Disconnect the flex pipe upstream next to the solid pipe in the main run.

If fluid comes out then it is the flex pipe.

 

Renew both L&R at the same time. Also consider the front flexibles as well.

Job done all works well now. I have had land rovers for years and never had this problem before.
