I replaced both front calipers this weekend, and for the life of god, I can't get the thing to bleed properly. I'm using a mini vac to pull a vacume to get the air out of the line, but I get nada.
Thank goodness for the web, I figure since these powermaster system are so special, maybe I'm doing this wrong, sure enough, I'm supposed to push in on a pin that's located on the proportioning valve and find a way of holding it...ok...I find it but the pin won't push in, then it does and I'm not ready to hold it, so it pops back out and now it won't go back in and the brass tip broke off...)*&%#!!^*() What the heck am I doing wrong, or would the concensus be that the proportioning valve was bad, causing all the grief?
I should give some background on this. The car sat for I think 6+ years. The front brakes were working, but the rotors were shot, and the calipers were sticking.
Where can I find a proportioning valve for a 87 GN? Also, where can one find the rubber cover that goes on the master cylinder?
Thanks,
Steve
