still have hard brake pedal and no fluid to rear brakes October 18, 2015, 08:58:23 PM Hello.Month ago I changed rear axle n my TC after I got it all together and went to bleed brakes I found I had no brake fluid going to rear brakes so after research and talking to members on this forum I found my pressure warning switch wasn't turning pump on so I swapped it out from my parts car now pump is working but still no fluid to rear brakes and pedal still hard to push cant figure out cause I was driving the car the day before I swapped out rear axle and everything was fine I test drove car with hardly any brakes and found that that rear axle wasn't any better so swapped axle back out with original and I use all original parts that came off car ad still have no pressure to calipers or to main brake line to rear axle I've been working on it too long and hit a road block has anybody had this problem or solution I went on NATO and read up on the TEVES II system that's were I found out pump wasn't working and how to diagnose problem that's when I found PWS was at fault but now I'm stumped Quote Selected

still have hard brake pedal and no fluid to rear brakes Reply #4 – October 21, 2015, 10:19:47 PM I had the same problem after changing front rotors, calipers, and rear brake cylinders. I had to "gravity bleed" the brakes and it fixed the issue. Here's one of many links on the procedure: http://www.pmbperformance.com/gravity-bleed.html Quote Selected
still have hard brake pedal and no fluid to rear brakes Reply #5 – October 22, 2015, 02:34:08 AM I had a guy tell me I might have to vacuum bleed the brakes but I can't bleed them if I have no fluid to rear but when I swapped out rear axle for the original I put a container under car to catch fluid from soft line to axle the next morning container was almost full so I figure I don't have a line problem but I don't understand the teves2 brake system it seems straightforward except for valve body I wish my brakes were regular brakes I would have been driving a month ago lol thanks Quote Selected

still have hard brake pedal and no fluid to rear brakes Reply #8 – October 23, 2015, 11:47:14 PM OK I reread NATO FAQ and found out that I was depressurizing the aspoogealator so now I know that the way to charge is to turn switch on and wait for lights to go out and pump shut off then press pedal wait for pump to come back on and then should b charged am I wrong if so plz luv to know. I really want my baby back on road Quote Selected
