break question.

lets say i have no rear calipars and i just want to get the system bleed just so my fronts work.

i made a small break line that loops at the t connecton on the axel is this going to work? if i bleed the system will my fronts work. or will the loop mess with the system?

i wont be driving the car daily like this its just a fix so i can drive a-b there is no c.
so dont flame me for being silly and not doing things correctly.

Without a way to bleed the rear line, you'll never get the air out.
BTW, driving any car without all rakes operational, is just asking for it to be junked.

yeah i wasnt sure if the front and rears share the air when bleeding..
but aparently left front shares the ppv with the rear
just need to get the car to storage.

You can still try and bleed the rear by loosening and tightening the fitting on the T. Its not gonna be perfect, but better than not bleeding it at all. I however also dont condone driving it like that, just saying its possible to do. After all, the front does what, ~75% of the braking anyway? Haha...

i got it sorted as said above the rear line was causing trouble.
so me and scott (trochoid) came up with a idea.
i got a brake line flattend it and folded a couple times then attached it on the ppv where the rear usally is and it worked.

so it can be done.
would not recomend this for a daily driver.

i could do really good burnouts now i guess

wow the forum must be really slow these days.
