#21094, "PROBLEM! Brake won't hold pressure after rear disk conversion!"
I did the rear drum to disk conversion yesterday! I have blead the rear brakes 10 times and the front 3 times. I also blead from the master cylindar. I instaled new hard lines from autozone, and have checked for leaks. The only thing I can think of is the air booster has gone out. Has anyone else had this problem, or does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

When I push the brake pedal it goes to the floor, but when I pump it about 3 times it builds pressure. Then if I wait about 5 seconds and push the brake again, it goes to the floor(no pressure). When I bleed the calipers, there are no air bubbles. This means no air, correct?
Best idea ever. Makes bleeding a one person job and you cant mess up. I installed these on all four corners when I did my GSX conversion and they are well worth the money!! I highly recommend them. -Chris b.

Yes, you do bleed your brakes systematically. Start at the wheel furthest from the master cylinder. Continue bleeding them going from furthest to closest. So, rear passenger, rear driver, front passenger, front driver. Also, be sure that your car is either level or the rear is slightly higher. This will allow the air to flow up to the rear and be bled first.
Also, I agree that speed bleeders are a wise investment.
