Default ls1 calipers??? I need help!!!

ok just finished converting my brakes to the ls1 style.. all said and done.. i start to bleed the brakes.. now maybe im not doing it right?.. arent you suppose to pump the breaks then loosen the bleeder nut until fluid comes out??

well as of right now when i pump the brake until it stops going to the floor.. then i go out and loosen that nut.. it still only spits.. im not getting a constant flow or pressure. anyone know what could be wrong?

you need 2 people. pump the pedal 3-5 times then hold it down as someone breaks open the bleeder. once the pedal hits the floor close the bleeder and bring the pedal back up. repeat until straight fluid comes ejaculating out of the bleeder.

yeah it will suck air in if you pump while it's open.

You could also get one of those mityvac kits for cheap. That's how I did mine last time. I did it myself and it was pretty easy.

this is the process we did: pump the brakes and hold, then crack the bleeder open while you have pressure on it and then close it. and were not getting any pressure

anyone know whats up??
