Brake Issues- Strange noise and soft pedal

Recommended Posts

I need to try vacuum bleeding them. They work absolutely fine and stop really well, just lack of pedal feel lol - Brakes are such a PITA when it comes to bleeding!

 

What state are the anti squeal shims in ? I didn't bother fitting mine when I replaced the calipers etc

Been driving around in the car the last few days and it stops fine. May bleed the brakes one more time just in case.

 

Thanks Chris, for confirming that the air sound is normal.

 

I had a vacuum bleeder but is was rubbish and put more air in that it took out so I used a one way valve on the nipple and it worked perfectly.

 

Anti squeal shims on the front seem fine, not got any on the rears. Might remove the fronts ones and see if it makes any difference.

I didn't fit these at all when i put them all back together. Although i am sure that the first time i ever tried to bleed them i let a hell of a lot of air into the system. They have been bled atleast 10 times properly after that. Used everything except a vacuum bleeder - the brakes arent bad at all to be fair, really do stop when they need to (i test it everyday :D) just lack of bite/feel sometimes
