tried this today, switching to super blue. Blear FR, RR, RL, then FL. took about 3.5 hours, and after all that the pedal feels even softer than before i did the bleed, which is incredibly frustrating. Any idea why?

 

air in the system and make sure you close the bleed screws. because of this reason, always check pedal feel after each corner...makes trouble shooting much easier.

 

You made an error somewhere and got air in there for sure. I just did it too changing my lines over to steel braided. My pedal was worse so I knew I had air.

Lemme give you a tip that an old wise man told me 25 years ago. AT that time he was 83 years old.

"brick" the brake pedal overnight. pump it up tight, and use a piece of wood or measured metal to pin the brake pedal againts the seat track, over night. I used a telescopic hood prop rod.

Disconnect the battery to disable the brake lights.

Your pedal will be fixed by morning. I just did it to my s2k and it works with the s2k as well.

 

interesting, so this would push any air in the system out the reservoir?

 

I did this and the fluid literally drips one drop at a time. Took about an hour to do. I used Motul brake fluid but the ending fluid looks to be clean and clear.

 

Brake fluid cap open or closed?

 

I'm panning on doing this tomorrow. I gonna put the car on the 4 jack stands. Do I really need to removed the wheels to do this ? Or since it on jack stands I can reach the bleeder valves easilly so there is no need to remove the wheels. Thanks. for your help. One other thing. I noticed that my manual to use DOT 4 fluid temporally only. I bought ATE Blue DOT4 so can I still used it safely ?

 

Take the wheels off. Maybe there are some people who can reach it, but I can't. Removing the wheels isn't much work and it gives you on opportunity to give them a thorough cleaning.
ATE Super Blue is really good and works well.

 

Hey Thanks. for the reply. I feel better now.

 

Followed Billman's instructions, worked like a charm! Thanks man! Didn't take that long either. I used the ATE Super blue. Also followed Billman's instructions on the clutch fluid from another thread, spot on!
