You have bleed valves on both sides of the caliper. You will have to bleed both valves. There should be no reason why you have no pedal pressure unless there is air in the lines. Also like Webestore said make sure to top off the brake reservior at all times so that you are not going too low and air is let back into the system.

Thanks,

There are actually four valves on each brake - an upper and lower inner and an upper and lower outer. You only need to bleed the two upper ones on each brake. I have this kit on my car and they work fine.

 

Exactly, you wouldn't bleed the ones on the bottom since air rises. Good luck!

 

If you already know this I apologize, but are you starting with the right rear caliper? You want to bleed the calipers in order from farthest to nearest to the master cylinder, otherwise air could still be trapped.

 

also, when your bleeding, pump the brake really fast to agitate the air out. sometimes the quick pumping will get out some stuck air. good luck!!

 

To bleed properly pump ped 3-4 times and hold (this builds good preassure in the lines and system). have someone release the bleeder valve while you continue to hold the pedal. they should crack the bleeder just ever so slightly and close it quickly as air can seep back in thru the threads.
Repeat several times at each corner. you should have to refill 3-4 ounces after each caliper. If you are like me i continue at each corner until the resovar is 1/2-3/4 empty.
as a safty precaution, place a small block under the brake padel. Master cylinders are known for having burs deep in the cylinder and you want to keep the piston from bottoming out in the cylinder.

 

well, it's fixed but i'm not sure how. we did everything suggested. cranked the car and re-bled the whole system back to front and nothing. so just to try something we took the new banjo bolts out and put the old ones back in but again nothing happened. so we put the new ones back in and voila! it holds pressure. only thing i can figure is that maybe there was a pocket of air there that we couldn't shake free. i still don't understand exactly why it works, but it does. thanks for all your help guys.

Wicky, you actually have it correct, its furtherst from the master to the closest, FOR EVERY CAR BUT OUR CAR

BTW, ASTOCK, i really hope when you said banjol bolts you were kidding because the front wilwood kit does not use banjo bolts

Glad it all worked out
