I would like to know what method you use to bleed the brakes on your RRs (power brake bleeder, MightyVac, etc).

I tried bleeding mine a few times after replacing front pads and pistons but still spongy.

Thanks,

John

Pressure bleeder. Brakes are solid.

I tried to locate one here in NY but none of the auto parts store had them. They can order them but the price is over $100. I'll check the your website for the one you use and see if they can overnite it to me. Unless of course you want to rent me yours and I'll pay for shipping and leave you a deposit?

Thanks

Here's an inexpensive brake bleeder that I've successfully used:

Yep, that's the one Perrone uses. I think I'll order one.

Thanks

John C.

You have other issues I am betting.

Bleed with the motor off and pump the pedal to get rid of vacuum pressure and then bleed standard method.

90 and up with the accumulator ones are teh PITa never had any issue bleeding my 88 or the 110 (which had 87 RR brakes/axles)
