Brakes issue

brenthedtke83 · August 13th, 2013, 04:47 PM

I took my front brakes apart, and when I reassembled them, I can't get any pressure built back up in the brake lines. Pads are in correctly, lines are hooked up right, and I've bled them almost dry. The caliper just won't compress again after re-hooking everything back up. Am I missing something? How do I get them back to where they were?

Sounds good, Alex, thanks for the help! I will get on it first thing tomorrow morning before I head off for the day.
