disc brakes not workin after gettin installed

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder?

You need to bench bleed the master cylinder. This is most definetly your problem, if you didn't bench bleed it initially.

Place the MC in a vice, or hold it as level as you can in your hand. Full of fluid, use a screw driver to push the piston in all the way. Repeat this a couple times, and you should notice a steady stream of fluid coming out of the ports. It has now been bench bled. Do not let the MC run dry, otherwise you'll have to do it again.. then bleed the system as indicated above (like you've already done), and as long as you have no leaks, you should get a solid pedal.

PS the proper order is to start with the wheel furthest away from the MC and work towards it. So start with right rear, left rear, right front, left front.

Good luck..


EDIT: That is how i bled my MC and i get a nice stiff pedal with the car off.. softer pedal with the car on, but im using a 95 brake booster. All the tech articles i am reading off of a google search, are saying that you should buy a kit, or use fittings+lines submerged in a container filled with clean brake fluid. When you push the piston in, it shoots fluid out the ports.. and when you release the piston, it wants to suck fluid back in through the ports.

I've seen it done a few times without the kits (and without lines submerged in fluid), and this is how i've done it. Although i havn't yet been able to fully test the brakes out, but they seem to work good.. no mushy pedal with the car off, and pedal doesnt get to the floor with the car running..

Mavrick is right...you definately need to bench bleed the m/c and start with the caliper furthest away from the m/c.

Also, while pumping the brakes have someone watch the m/c, there should be no bubbles in the fluid. Bubbles=air.

Try this link to Autozone's repair site. About halfway down is the instructions on bench bleeding. http://www1.autozone.com/servlet/Ui..._us/0900823d/80/19/6a/4b/0900823d80196a4b.jsp

After doing some research myself.. i would advise you to buy a metal line, and the propor fittings for your master cylinder.. and route the lines back into the master cylinder (submerged in fluid) before bench bleeding..

I'll be doing this myself too.. seems pretty easy to do in the car this way, aslong as you can get the MC level.

Just jack the rear of the car as high as you can (chock the fronts just in case) and the MC will be level, assuming you get the rear high enough. Tilt the car to level the MC, lol.
