Robert,

You did bleed the MC before you started the brake bleed right? I heard this has nothing to do with it, but the first time I bled my 240, the rear calipers would not let anything out, as soon as I pulled the parking brake off, then they worked, maybe coincidence, but I think it had something to do with it. so take your PB off if it is.


The bleeding sequence goes like this.
left rear
left front (upper chamber)
right front (upper chamber)
right rear
right front (lower chambers, inner first then outer second.)
left front (lower chambers, inner first then outer second.)

You may need to do this cycle more than once to get all the air out after replacing the MC. I just did the MC last sat. (for the second time, warranty replacement) and it took me 3 times to get the air all out!


Good luck.
