Freakin Brakes
 
So I have finished upgrading my brakes to the fj rotors and v6 calipers, that wasn't as easy as I thought. But, now I have no pedal pressure at all. I've bled and bled and bled and bled still no stoppy.

I've read, after the fact of course, that the bleeders go on the upper side? If this is true is it that simple swap them around and bleed again and I'll be back on track?:(

Yes bleeders go on top. Air rises doesn't it?

double yes, the bleeders NEED to be on top. Won't take long to swap the calipers from side to side. Happy wrenching.

You know you need to bleed the rear as well right?

:coffee: Didn`t pay attention to how your old calipers were on??

Easy Mistake to make.

I was in 'go' mode and wasted half a day trying to bleed the unbleedable. Oh, well I know now to pay a little more attention. It never even dawned on me that they would fit at all backwards.

Yes I know that the back must be bled as well. I'm going to finish reassembling the thing in the morning then it's off to the wilderness to check the bear bait.
