Nc23 help required

Post by Gscranston »

Hi need a bit of help with my NC23 , it an 89 RRK and I'm having trouble with the rear brake , I have recently stripped down cleaned and rebuilt the rear caliber but I now find that I cannot bleed the brake. I have brake fluid flowing from the reserve to the master cyclinder but it doesn't pass through it along the brake line to the rear caliber, what should I do now , is it hard to strip the master cylinder , I've tried a couple of times to get the air out incase the fluid was full of air bubbles , I then drained the system and put in another bottle of new brake fluid , let it settle for a few hours to no avail what can I do now ? Help needed

Presure bleeder will do this or crack on as you have been, bit at a time and it will come through...

Another option is to fill from the caliper using a syringe and tubing over the nipple but watch the reservoir does not overspill, empty as needed.
