Wishing to tap into the vast wedge knowledge

Ive got Works Motorsport 4 pot calipers on my wedge.
Does anybody know how to bleed them.
Tried usual method but to no avail.

Do I need something different to bleed these???????????????

I normally work back brakes first then onto the nearside then offside, on the four pots from the nipple nearest the slave cylinder outwards.

Look like rebranded Wilwood 4pots, should bleed just like a regular brake. Otherwise contact them as i've never heard of this brand before.

Thats the problem they dont bleed like normal calipers.
you open the bleed nipple and push the brake pedal and nothing happens no fluid comes through.
Open them further and fluid comes up through the threads and not through the nipple.

First I thought it may be a damaged nipple, but they're all the same.

So Im at a loss, thought maybe had I to use a vacuum bleeding tool.

Ive googled WMS but the website isnt much cop still under construction.

If no one has any experience with these Ill have to try mailing them.

Thanks

Just stumbled into this thread!

Works Motorsport = WMS Brakes, we did a rebrand. Nothing to do with Wilwood at all!

As for the bleeding:

- Start with the inner/top nipple, then the outer/top, one caliper at a time.
- The bleed nipples are the small steel part whick need a 1/4" spanner and work like normal.

NOTE: The nipples are fitted into brass housings, which have a tapered thread and are semi-permanantly fitted/sealed into the caliper housing. The whole lot can be replaced that way if there's an issue with the smaller nipple part's threads or seal.

Hope that helps! (bit late I know)
