I have a 1966 VW fastback and am having trouble getting my front disc brakes to work properly. I will tell you what I have done to the brake system so far. I have replaced the rear drums, shoes, wheel cylinders, master cylinder (conversion to dual circuit) and flexible brake lines at all four corners. Upon inspection, my front rotors and pad are in good condition. Prior to the dual circuit MC conversion I had front brake response and know after bleeding the brakes, I can still turn the rotors by hand while the brake pedal is pressed. I know my rear brakes are working and adjusted properly. The brake pedal still goes ¸ to ² to the floor before getting brake pressure. I noted while bleeding the front brakes, I only got a trickle of fluid, when the bleeder value was released (both sides). I thought there was something wrong with the MC, so I disconnected the front brake line at the flexible hose and pressed the pedal and fluid shot across the driveway. Could there be a massive amount of air in the 2nd circuit, which would not allow the caliper to compress, requiring a ãbench bleedâ? Possibly, my calipers could be frozen, but this seems unlikely that both would freeze at the same time and they worked prior to the MC conversion. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
