while I decide on engine mount, I wanted to bleed the brakes.
without speed bleeders, I had someone pushing the pedal while I played with bleeder screws..... the pedal was "stiff", did not move at all: the fluid was slowly seeping from open bleeder screws. SLOWLY. SEEPiNG.
That was on both rear brakes. I didn't check fronts, because I still have to deal with rears.
PET catalog doesn't show pressure valve between front and rear brakes, it only shows T-connector (for fronts) and "distributor" (near the rear axle).
While I'm typing this, I thought that I ought to check the fluid flow before callipers - just unscrew the line and see how much fluid comes out with depressed pedal.
Clogged rubber hoses?
Rusted "rear" brake distributor? (BTW from 914's - part # 914 355 667 00),
Rusted metal brake lines?
Rusted rear callipers?
come to think of it, If I'd unscrew metal brake lines at rear callipers, they should leak fluid. If the rubber hoses are fine.
if I'd unscrew rubber hoses from leading metal brake lines, they must leak, too.
What do you, guys, think?
