I just installed my rebuilt calipers and gravity bled them. All seems good. I have a nice steady seep coming from all bleeders and allowed a minimum of 1-2 oz. of brake fluid to seep from each one individually. I did this twice, just to cover my bases. I have not done any bleeding using the pedal.
This is a novice question, but how much pressure should I expect the pads to be applying to the rotors at this point? All four wheels have a fair amount of pressure applied. To give an idea how much, the front rotors can not be spun (freewheel) a complete revolution by hand before stopping. It seems that if this is normal I will hear the scraping of the pads all of the time. Should the pistons in the caliper be retracting more on their own? The pads are not too thick, there is plenty of room for the pads to be pushed back against the calipers. My hope is that the calipers just need a little more bleeding. Thanks.
