I have replaced the rear crossover pipe and rebuilt the rear calipers.
When bleeding brakes the traditional 2 person method, ie press pedal, crack nipple open, tighten nipple when pedal is on floor, then lift off pedal.
Is it normal to sometimes have air drawn i past the lip seals when the brake pedal is on the upstroke?
I used lip seals as there were no o ring kits in stock.
I have gravity bled first and pedal is rock hard and all seems well.
But when i pressure bleed with a helper, i have a constant flow of air bubbles on one rear caliper on one side only. I can actually hear air being drawn in when the wife lifts her foot off the pedal.
If i gravity bleed will this be enough in itself as it doesnt draw in air once everything is nipped up tight?
