Need help with brakes!!
hey guys,
I bought an 89 runner with a grenaded 3rd member, i managed to find a whole rear diff for 100 bucks and threw it in. im having problems with bleeding the brakes. The lspv is bled (at the bleed valve) and isnt bubbling at all, but the brakeline coming out of the lspv and going to the rear brakes is full of air and wont bleed out....but the lspv is bled. Maybe the lspv is pulling in air? im stumped. thanks!

yea just keep bleeding and see what happens..
it took a bottle of brake fluid about 12in tall before mine were bled all the way..
of course i feel mine need to be bled again...for some reason i just got a feelin that that will solve my brake problems (feels like i have NO rear brakes AT ALL)..

ditto on the vac bleeder. Just make sure you did not loose your prime on the master. If the bowl ever went empty, you probably did. You would need to "bench bleed" it with tubes from the outlets dumping back into the bowl. Or hold your thumbs over the outlets until you get good pressure, then while the pedal is to the floor, hook the lines up to the master.

yeah, when i left i took the rear end out i disconnected the softline from the hardline that comes out of the lspv, and it sat for a day. could air bubbles travel up and past the lspv and pretty much into the mc? also i put 2" blocks in the rear when i installed the rear end because it was sagged out so much. i guess maybe the lspv might need to be adjusted? thanks so much for the input!
