I'm working on my FL350 and I have replaced the soft rear line and brake pads. I was going to build stainless lines for the front but decide that the front had good pressure and stopping power so I didn't do anything with them other than take the soft lines off and drain the whole brake system. I've put everything back on and tried to bleed the front and rear and I get nothing. I was thinking that maybe with system being dry for a couple of months that the seals in the master dryer and cracked so I rebuilt the master and still nothing.
I get good pressure coming out of the master before I connect the two hard lines then I loose pressure.
I've tried vacuum bleeding, Gravity bleeding, witch it won't do even with the hard lines disconnected.
Any help with this would be great
Stick a clear hose over the bleeder valve, leave the valve open, leave the cap off the master so you can keep it full, pump away.
Loop the hose over the tire, that way air can rise up the hose but fluid will stay down. When you have no more air bubbles rising up in the hose you should be good to go.
