Its a miracle,ive got the best brakes ever now.All i had to do was compress the caliper pistons all the way in and clamp them down,then let the power bleeder do the rest.A man can learn a lot,or little in 3 days of work,LOL.Thanks guys.

Glad to see you got it figured out.I got two buggy's down here that needs done.LOL So the calipers was holding air in them?

Glad to hear it man, not that complicated of a system. Figured with enough head scratchin and beer/booze we'd get r figured.

I may try that,,do you open the bleeder as you are compressing the piston ,or push the fluid ( with air) back upline then bleed?

i would think you would open the bleeder valve then compress the piston,jus open a little and compress slow

I rode mine for a bit and they became one pumpers. Re-bleed after that short test and you can't pull the cutters an 1/8th inch now after the second bleed. Rode it again for half hour after that and brakes never softened up any. I didn't even remove the calipers the second time just cracked the bleeders and went. The second time however I did NOT break the cap loose on the master cylinder. I pressurized the system and bleed it out then unhooked the sprayer and put the cap on the valve stem. Thanks KY boys

You're welcome.

I hooked the bleeder up and then i stuck a screwdriver between the pad and the piston and compressed it back all the way and stuck a extension in there to hold it in and then pumped the bleeder up and broke the bleeders loose,pumped the pedals a few times,shut down 1 bleeder and worked the ST.brakes and pedal again,then the opposite side.Let the bleeder run until you get a solid pedal with the bleeders closed and then release the air on the pressure bleeder.

I tried your idea about pressing the piston in and WOW,,,it works,,I pressed it back and held it in place with a socket and bled the tube in a jar method, and I am very impressed,, BM,,your a genious

Update: the pressure bleading method didn't do anything but make a huge mess for me. One thing that I hadn't done when I started this thread was to fully adjust the shoes out to the drums. Once this was done and the brakes were bled the normal way, I had tons of brakes. Although I did find out that my Neal turning brakes need to be rebuilt. Which could account for the issues from the pressure bleeding event. Oh well. Currently planning on discs after I get past the dmv.

Thanks for the replies.

One thing i didn't see mentioned earlier in the thread was bench-bleeding. Most people think to bench-bleed the master but not the steering brakes. I haven't had trouble with steering brakes since using this process.
