Help with bleeding brakes?
So I just swapped out the pads on all 4's, and I guess I didn't bleed the brakes correctly.
I have to pump the petal to get any sort of brake feel, then it goes right to the floor. Lines are good, pads are new, and calipers were working fine before the install...I started from the RR and ended with the LF.
I don't have traction control and I had a person help me while they pumped the brakes and held them to the floor. I did this with the car off...don't know if that helps
Help me guys, I have work on Monday!!
Thanks

Thanks for the replies guys. Yeah I drove the car and I had to pump the brakes to get them to engage.
I think I ran out of fluid in the reservoir the first time i did it because I didn't top it off after bleeding each corner.
Now they are working great. I did everything again...
I just topped off the reservoir before I started a new corner. Began with right rear, ended with left front. I had air in the right front, all the others were fine. What a relief. The brakes feel great with the new Baer Rotors
