Hey everyone! I don't have a road car but rather have installed hydraulic brakes on my FG Monster Beetle. I just figured that the road cars are more likely to have these type of brakes than the monster trucks. Everything is installed and ready to go but I just can't bleed the brakes. When I try to inject the brake fluid through the calipers there is a bunch of back pressure and ultimately just comes dripping out around the bleeder valve. This happens on either caliper. I'm really in a bind here and with every passing day I get more and more annoyed since the weather is so perfect for bashing. HELP!
 
sorry i cant help FG Posse. i ve not worked with any hydros.

is there a spot on the caliper to bleed from?
if yes, maybe you can open them up, and then fill the master cylinder and let gravity take its course for the fluid to flow to the calipers. then tighten the bleeder valve on the calipers when the fluid is coming from the calipers?
 
make sure the Res is open and i take my calipers off the uprights and make sure the caliper is higher then the Res as well then with res open push fliud through untill steady stream comes out of caliper and close imediately then repaet other side .
thats the way i rebleed mine .
