Brake Bleeding

Replaced front brake pads and changed brake fluid. Have no front brakes. Does it take close to forever to
bleed these out? I have ran 1/2 a quart of brake fluid through the bleeders and still must have air. Does it really take this long? I have gravity bled and power bled. Still a squishy brake. I bought this bike in June 2017, and would like to ride it this year.

 

It shouldn't take this long unless u are not topping fluid in reservoir in time. Do u see bubbles coming out?

As mentioned, unless you reintroducing air in the line or not closing the bleeder when releasing the lever, it doesn't take much to bleed the front brakes. Even the linked braking systems are not that much trouble for just the front.

 

Thanks, going to replace bleeders and try this again. I must be getting air from somewhere.

 

Might as well go with speed bleeders, they make bleeding really quick and simple.

 

Replaced bleeder screw on one of calipers and re-bled. Seemed to work this time. I must have been getting air from somewhere.
