Hey all, kinda losing my mind here. Help would be appreciated. I rebuilt the calipers today (new seals), and now I'm having trouble getting fluid to enter the calipers and getting the air out.
I have it so if I pump the brakes, the lever firms up, but if I let go for about 10 seconds, it goes all the way to the handlebar.
I have speed bleeders, the fluid that comes out of them is clear without bubbles. I've tried unbolting the calipers and compressing the pistons with the bleeder open which let some air out, but after doing that a couple times, now all I get is just brake fluid again.
I assume there's air trapped somewhere in the caliper. No idea how to get it out. Going to ziptie the lever in overnight to see if it gets any better. My next idea is to install the old bleeders and force fluid with a syringe. Been at this for way longer than I intended so I'm going to go to bed now. Hoping you guys can chime in and give me some ideas. Thanks!
