Technical No brake pedal

[digger58]

Hi all,
Any ideas, just replaced all discs and pads, now can't get a pedal, have tried bleeding etc still no pedal.Am I missing something? I even tried another master cylinder, still no good, really pi.....ed off now. :bang:

That's odd.
There was no need to mess with the fluid for pads and discs but I guess it's possible air got in if the caliper piston seals are US.
Sounds like it must be air in the system.
I'd be tempted to use clamps to lock off 3 of the 4 flexible brake pipes to the wheels and bleed off the remaining one.
Then see if you get a peddle. If you do release one more clamp and re-bleed and continue until you eitehr get them all ok or find one that won't bleed.

Hi,
I actually renewed seals in all callipers at the same time, thats why I "messed" with them, have just deceided to pressurise the system to try and bleed it, will try it tomorrow. €23.50 for a Sealey kit.

Update,
After about an hour I finally got it done, had to bleed each brake three times before I finally got all the air out. Never came across anything like it, Now I have great brakes. Secret is to pressurise the system. I could not believe how much air was in the system. I will bleed it again after a couple of 100 klms. Well worth the €23.50 for the sealey system.

It could have been air in the ABS. Pressurised bleeding is good for this , the Easibleed works well but you need the right cap adaptor.
