To skip all the nonsense basically I had a wilwood BBK installed but one of the calipers was freezing up and not releasing properly. Me and a buddy tried to tackle the project tonight and got everything installed and all seemed well. Only thing possibly that can be a problem is the rotor has a little play if grabing and shaking it on the opposite side where the caliper sits. Im not sure if thats normal or not.

On to the problems, everything seems ok but we cant get the brakes to bleed and hold pressure. We tried constantly for a couple hours but to no avail. These are the stock rotors and calipers going back on FYI.

Any insite? Im sick as a dog and need some sleep, hopefully something will come up in the morning for me to trouble shoot.

Parts list of what was installed:
Stock Calipers
Stock Rotors
Goodridge SS lines using the stock bolt that mounts into the caliper.

Thanks ahead for and info that can help trouble shoot. Im guessing I should take it somewhere but all I have is a parking brake in reality.

 

are the seals on the pistons still good? any leaks? is there fluid coming out when u pump the brakes?

 

woohoo everything is working now, figured out we had the calipers on the opposite sides causing them no to bleed properly. Now I have stopping power again. I might be selling the wilwood kit soon also.

 

how much?.............

 

not sure how much the kits go for, but I would recommend someone rebuilding the calipers bc they dont release as quick as they should. I'll have to do some research on rebuilds and all that other stuff.

 

blu.. why not buy new willwood calipers? from what i know, they aren't that expensive..

 

Just dont feel like fooling with it at the moment. With the Volk GT-P's I need approx 20mm of spacers for them to clear and I didnt care for the look of the wheels spaced out that far. I don't track the car(much) so the stockers work decent as the car sits now.

 

You didn't notice that the bleeders were facing the wrong direction (down)?

The seal kits are cheap like $40 for both sides... so are the calipers depending... They don't make the old Billet Superlites, but they are like around $150 each.
