Hello. Hoping someone can provide some suggestions.
I have a 2002 Esprit with AP Racing front and Brembo rear calipers. I serviced brakes this week. Replaced pads all around and had front rotors blanchard ground. Everything went according to plan until I inexplicably pushed the brake pedal before installing the front pads which then pushed one of 4 pistons on each side out, resulting in loss of fluid.
I managed to ease the pistons back in and all looked ok--finished the job.
This of course resulted in me requiring bleeding the brakes.
Not much info for the 02 on the subject that I could find so I bled in normal manner. 2 person,one pushing pedal, bled furthest from reservior first etc.
Problem is fluid runs clear now==no air bubbles but once I turn ignition on, pedel is extremely soft--to the point of going to floor. Reservior is topped up.
I understand ABS may be trapping air but would that be enough trapped air to lead me to having no brakes? I currently cant even drive anywhere to have ABS solenoids cycled to do a full bleed. Do I need to continue bleeding even though no apparent air? Stumped. Thank you
