Anyway I know you guys hate me already but

Car: 2007 BF series 2 Falcon xr6 turbo

Color: White - Because that helps how the car brakes I.e red cars need bigger brakes due to the fastness nah...

anyway. I had the rear rotors skimmed brakes worked fine then, we had the calipers off the car and someone unknownly pumped the brakes popped the pistons out so I opened the bleeder up and pushed them back in surely enough the brakes went soft and few days later I got mates around and we bled the brakes as he was pumping I asked him to hold the brakes in place I opened the bleeder before I started to close them he started pumping them again, stopped right away.

Tonight the brakes really started to piss me off so jacked the car up we started the pump the brakes I opened the bleeder and no fluid exited the bleeder and now the brakes hardly work WHATTT?????????? HELP please

Regards

Daniel

sounds like you have a sh*t load of air in it, keep opening bleeder and everntually fluid will come out, may take up to 5 even ten times before any fluid comes out depending on how much air is in it.

Maybe get a speed bleeder kit, one of those things that have valves so you can just attach it to the bleeder fitting, pump away while pouring new fluid into the reservoir?

Äs above sounds like youve just got air in the system and need to do a proper bleed without any stuff ups.

Over stroking is quite a hazard when there's only air and no lubricant/fluid, as above.
