Like title says I have tried everything to get my Toyota rear disks to bleed right and they randomly loose pressure right when I need them I have power bead them with my mighty vac and bled them by had and gravity several times over the last year and the rotors and calipers are new so last ditch effort is to try to reverse bleed them so if any body around raleigh has one I can barrow for a couple days or buy cheap please let me know thanks josh
 
Are you sure you don't have a leak in the system somewhere? If you've bled them that many times, that many ways, and the pedal is fine for a time them goes bad, you may have other issues. No amount of bleeding if going to fix it.
 
You don't have them on the wrong side do you? One time I accidentally put right on left and vice versa and although they worked, the bleeders weren't at the top and I couldn't get the air out of them.
 
Bleeder are at the top there is no leaks I'm not using any fluid I have even bled the calipers off the truck and raised it higher and lower then it's mounting location the kit I have uses the same calipers that I have on the front and I have a new factory fj80 master this kit is from trail tough the only other thing it could be the fact that the breaks are hard mounted the the axle but it's a Simi float so in theory the axle cane move slightly I have even replaced both axle shafts thinking they could be bent
 
I use to have a KTM dirt bike . And we had to use a reverse bleeder it was the only way so just thought it was worth a shot
 
Josh, if you ever have time you can come down my way and I will help you with it. I have been around Cruisers for a few days now. Did you bleed the proportioning valve also ?
 
Why not use a garden sprayer, and pull the excess fluid out with a turkey baster?


I have a booty-fab power bleeder that could work for a reverse bleeder if you want to try it.
 
Is it possible that you have got water in your brake fluid? I would think that by doing as many bleeds as you have, the fluid would be completely fresh, but you never know.
 
we have a pressure bleed setup here at work that puts pressure on the master and pushes the fluid out the bleeders if you could get it to Chapel Hill I could hook it up and bleed them for you. I also think you could have a master cylinder leaking by internally, no fluid loss it just bypasses itself and doesn't make correct pressure. I would try a master cyl replacement if you are out of other options...............
 
Man y all are great lots of options here the master was put on brand new right before the disks and worked awesome and I don't have a proportion ING valve it just go's strength to the disks
 
Wait - no rear valve?
OK so is there something added in its place that sets the front/rear bias correctly? You can't just take it out and not adjust everything appropriately. I don't think thats your problem (if its not consistent) but it's not going to help.

One question... when you use the Mighty Vac, do you have teflon tape on the threads for the bleeders?
If you don't, its very common for the vacumm to just suck air around the threads and not really have a good seal when you tighten it back off.
 
So. If you took out the valve that is on there stock then how do you have your lines all run please ? Did you or someone else pull it ?

I am assuming this is on a Cruiser ? If not then please explain what we are working with here. Also year would be nice. I just put disks all the way around on a fj40 with a fj80 master and a summit valve for the rears.
