Dear friends: Let me start by thanking those who advised me through installation of new distribution block. It took two attemps but the newest is now in place and not leaking. Well, sadly, the job is still not done.
I attempted to gravity bleed the system but ony the fronts are dripping (quite significantly). The rears are not dripping. I gave a little pedal to stimulate but still inactive. (The rears bled very well before new block.)
My previous research tells me the shuttle in the d-block may need to be recentered.
Can someone please advise me on the steps to recentering. As you know, the block is solid and there is no way of centering the shuttle externally.
NOTE: until the shuttle is centered, I cannot bleed brakes. Most forums say power bleed, the vendor said not to power bleed. ???
Vendor said open caliper bleeders on the side that's bleeding. This creates the fault which triggers the shuttle to recenter while pedal is being depressed.
I would welcome specifics like pedal pressure; do I hear a clicking noise; how many trys does it take; do I open only one front bleeder, or both fronts; do I retighten bleeder valves before brake pedal is released? etc. Thanks in advance. Ted Zywicki (64289)
