Default Re: Trouble bleeding rear brakes

Finally got the rears to bleed well! Found a thread on another site where guys were having a problem with their C4's brakes leaking from the bleeder screws. They were all using speed bleeders, as was I, and the speed bleeder screws weren't seating right in the caliper allowing them to leak. I wasn't having any leakage problems, just couldn't get them to bleed. So I compared my Russel speed bleeders with the oem ones and sure enough the speed bleeders were longer and had a more pointed tip. So I removed the speed bleeders and replaced them with the oem and BAM! That did it! They both bled fine. The right rear was a little sluggish but the left rear flowed fine. Bled approx 50cc through each and buttoned them up. Firm pedal! Now to move on to the fronts!
