Ok, i just put new front brake lines on the ones that have a line for each side and now i cant get them to bleed i tried to pump them up and i dont get anything, i pulled the brake lever in and cracked the res. and put the zip tie on for 2 or 3 days now and still cant get them to pump up, any ideas on what to do or what happend? Thanks

I had this problem and still to this day have spungy brakes. With mine on the dull line were it bolts to the master you have to use 2 copper washers between the two lines. The line clamps are to thick and wont seal were they meet.

so you are using a total of 4 washers up top, i will give that a try i cant get any brakes at all

Instead of using the bleeders first try cracking the banjo bolt loose at caliper everytime you push lever in.If that doesnt work you might have to bleed them with a Mityvac.Here are a bunch of great tips.Sorry pics are gone.

Yes, i think thats what its going to take, the Mityvac

Yes 4 washers. Banjo bolt,washer,line,2 washers,line,washer then master.

well i tried the mityvac and that didnt work, so i called the local bike shop and they said to put the banjo up and down and then bleed them and what do you know it worked, thanks for the help
