Check ive done my brakes right. - Eeyore - 04-10-2013 Ok people. I swapped from my hdi brakes to gti6 ones and just want to check a few things... Wheel off crack off brake line 2 calliper bolts out calliper and discs off new discs on new calliper on and brake line on. tighten it all up. Then bleed. I bled the drivers side first and then the passenger side. Working my way closer to the pump which is correct? Pedal has a bit more travel and is a bit spongey which is due to not having the bigger gti6 master cylinder? and there is a 1mm gap between the brake lines and the calliper. Is that normal? It would do up and tighter and isnt leaking fluid so i presume its all good. Just wanted to double check as it was my first time with brakes etc. RE: Check ive done my brakes right. - swampy - 04-10-2013 Spongey will be due to air in system still Did you bleed the rears aswell?? RE: Check ive done my brakes right. - Piggy - 04-10-2013 yeah I would do the lot (bleeding) it will also feel a bit soft/sprongy until the new pads/discs wear into each other. did you clean the hub face off before fitting the new discs???? RE: Check ive done my brakes right. - Eeyore - 06-10-2013 just took the old discs off and new ones on. I didnt bleed the rears. I need to swap those callipers over soon as well. After driving over 500 miles since fitting them they definitely work as im still alive!
