Phil Read Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 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.

RogerH Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 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. Roger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geko Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 Since the time, those pesky vise-grips are still clamping on any flexible hose within reach ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
