Thanks for the replys about my dry clutch guys. I made some progress, but I
still have problems. I reverse bled the clutch and did the 4 brakes in the
correct order. Well, my clutch works, but it has about 3" of travel before it
starts to engage. I think this can be fixed with further bleeding, correct?
The brakes are mushy too. I used the brake pump method, so I think I'll try to
pressure bleed them tomorrow. Now...can I apply pressure to the brake
reservoir and bleed the brakes AND the slave, or do I need to reverse bleed
the slave again? Also, after the initial test drive I came back and the front
brakes were smoking. I just intalled used G60's. I wasn't sure how to install
the pads with the retaining springs. Should I have to pry on the springs to
get the caliper over them? Could this cause my brake drag or do you think my
pistons are frozen? I'll bleed them all again tomorrow and check the pistons.
Any ideas are appreciated though!
Thanks,
Jason
