would appreciate any suggestions


So!


changed rear caliper on the s15 due to slightly sticky rl one..tried to bleed after no joy couldnt get any pressure to build up in the system then at all, cracked open the pipe for front brakes on the master cyl some fluid gushed with the old man pressing the pedal . tried the same with the port for the rear brakes not a drop from it bear in mind the bias thingy is built in the mc + abs maybe something to do with it? .. Is there something im doing wrong / missing obvious or the mc shat itself /flipped seals ?? Inside the mc reservoir theres alot of black resedue maybe from seals dying? I took off the mc and checked by hand there is pressure when i push the piston in and hold my thumb over the (front brakes) port but then can feel a suction when the piston returns ?? what do you reckon? is that a sign of a problem as i cant imagine suction being right?


Thanks in advance
