BigAl Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Might sound obvious, but might be the pads and/or rotor?How old is the brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 You bleed them well? Will just be air in the system, take the reservoir off and push the fluid through from the caliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben John-Hynes Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 'cause it's a different consistency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
