Guys and Gals,
Im off camping and playing in the dunes tomorrow and I need some help ASAP. I had to disconnect my front Right brake line to work on my upper a arm (bent, whole nother story) Anyhow when I got it all back together I bled the brakes and got them working, but they are no where near touchy as they were before. I also have to pump the lever a few times to get it to pump up. DO I need to bleed them some more? I have done it twice to the point of no air coming out of the line(there was no air the second time around). Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to do both front and back? Please give any suggestions short of selling my Banshee.

Thanks in advance!!

well you could have air in the caliper, Im not sure how to get it out of there, maby take off your pads, and pump them a few times, then push the piston back and close the valve(it should have been closed to get it out). that is the only way I can think of to get out the air in there.

maby you got grease or oil on your rotor? does it pull to one side at all?

Put tube (tight fit) on to squeeze bottle then on to open bleeder. Push fluid in from the bleeder towards the(open) master cylinder. Air will always rise to the top.
