Brake fluid replacement problems

namari · 10-15-2013, 02:28 PM

Tried replacing my brake fluid for winterization today. Opened the fluid cylinder reservoir, removed seal, attached drain hose, loosened bleeder valve and pumped brake until empty. Closed bleeder valve, filled up cylinder reservoir with new DOT 4, closed it up. Tried bleeding the air out of the line, but pressure will not build up no matter how much I pump. I pump, hold down brake, open bleeder valve (some new fluid flows out), close bleeder, pump some more, etc. Can't get pressure to build. What do I need to do? What am I doing wrong? Help please! Thanks!
