Bleeding Brakes
#1
Can anyone tell me how easy it is to bleed scooby brakes? My pedal has a lot of travel and I have brand new disks & pads all round so I assume they need bleeding.
As I'm a DIY novice would it be safer to pay someone to do it?
Thanks

Spongy brakes huh? So have I. First thing was the brake support bracket (from MRT but Scoobysport now do them - see the banner ads). Big improvement. Then it was the Wilwood 4-pots with 335mm disks plus stainless hoses all round. Just bled the brakes at this stage rather than replace all the fluid. Major improvement but still spongy.
Tomorrow is a minor service PLUS I am getting Subaru (well, Mill Lane Engineerng - not sure if they are pukka Subaru dealers) to completely replace the brake fulid. When I was getting thewm bled last time we found a bleed nipple was blocked and had been for a while. So there is no way that the fluid has been replaced for ages. £30 for that. Well worth the money IMHO.

Dave, just a quick question. What Wilwoods are you using. I have the same problem with the ones on mine?

Add-on.... Are they differential pistons.
