Hey guys, posted in the 848 section but hopefully will get some more views here as well, desperate for help.
Tried to bleed my brakes, definitely got air in the lines. My front brake pads are now slightly clamped on the front rotors, i can spin the wheel by hand but the pads are firmly on the rotors so the wheel stops as soon as i stop applying force.
Been doing some more reading, looks like i just need 2 people to bleed this thing easily. Regarding the front pads, do i need to press them back in so they are not clamped down on the rotor before i try to bleed again (basically compress the piston back into the caliper)? If so, can i just use a flat head to pry the pads back into the caliper or is there a special way i should do it?
Here is my plan of attack:
Start at master, then left caliper, then right caliper, maybe master again at the end if still feels like air in system.
Attach hose to bleeder nipple and empty bottle, pump up brake lever about 3 times and then hold on last pump, crack the bleeder slowly and lever should slowly compress towards handle. Close the bleeder before the lever touches the handle, do not release the lever until bleeder is closed or it will suck in air.
How many reservoirs of brake fluid should i be going through for each bleed? (master, left, right)
Anything else i need to take into account?
