Weird brake bleeding problem

[roseytvr]

Okay - on the griff I have fitted braided hoses, overhaul 4 pot callipers on the front with new disks. Using both the easibleed and traditional method I can only bleed the rears, I cant get fluid out of the fronts yet the pedal is rock hard, even with the front bleds open. added to this the back brakes are actually working! Nothing at the front though, any thoughts most welcolmed!!

There was a thread on here very recently about a similar problem, apparently there's an additional bleed nipple on the master cylinder, awkward to get to by all accounts.

Thanks Andy - I had read it and have managed to get on it and bleed it, or so I thought. Whats baffling me is the rock hard pedal and the backs working fine but nothing at the fronts. Doesnt feel spongy like air in system but if all else fails I will try it again.

Have you cracked open the joints on the pipes heading back to the master cylinder to see if your getting fluid to the callipers?
Have you done any work on the master cylinder itself?

No I havent touched the master cylinder apart from bleeding it - I will crack the pipes to the front callipers next and see what gives.

Wrong pipes fitted to front - old pipes fitted and problem solved. Will chech fittings with supplier - thanks Andy

Not sure I was any help, but glad you got it sorted.
