Just finished fitting my new 4 pot brakes and have bleed the system all they way round x2 but when I went for a short test drive there was no real braking power and the pedal had little to no pressure.
Is there a specific method to to bleeding 4 pots?
What are we doing wrong?
Cheers

Not sure what it would be at all, hopefully somebody can help you out. Quite a few people now with 4pots.
What type of 4pots are they and are they brand new? Heard they have to be broken into if new?

There willwood 4 pots there not brand new but have been sitting around for a while but in saying that everything is fully functional the problem seems to be with the bleedin process.
There are 8 valves to bleed so I didnt know if there was a set process?

There is a bleeding process for four pots, only some mind, u can be lucky sumtimes and bleed them all through one nipple on each caliper or they can be a bastard and get a tiny airlock under a pistion! Start with the bleed nipple closest to the brake pipe and work outwards, thats what normaly works for me! But wat do i no eh?
Lol!!!!
