bear breaking

Post by Nlmman47 »



I am having an issue with my breaking. My back breaking is little. Not very strong. I have to use my front as my main breaking. When I push my back break is weak. I changed my pads and fluid is good. Any suggestions

Make sure your linked front caliper is working.

Is your pedal soft and going all the way down?

Have you bleed the brakes? The rear pedal is connected to the rear disk as well as the front left disk.
When you bleed it, you need to do the front left first, then the rear.

I thought this was a thread about taming a wild bear... I am very disappointed :(

When he said his back was breaking a little, I thought he needed a chiropractor. :lol:
