rear brake issues

[bigmike91]

Now I know this is a ranger site but I'm hoping for some help ...... So I have a 1988 Thunderbird turbo coupe and i replace both rear calipers and I gravity bleed them and I'm getting fluid to both calipers but I'm getting no pressure.....also the master and brake booster is new as well and also has been bleed ....the front brakes work great...I have a decent pedal...I'm just not understanding why the rear calipers are not working any help would be appreciated

i think you'll have to have a person help you pressure bleed the rears, you may have an air pocket in the rear lines now.
and if you have a proportioning valve, dont get air into that sucker or you'll have to keep bleeding all 4 .

Gravity bleeding can only get you so far. If you don't pressure bleed you can't get all the air out. It might only take one shot at each wheel, but you need to pressure bleed it.
