Hey guys..
I decided today was a good day to change the front brakes on the Meanie. (I did the rears about 3 weeks ago)
Anyways I did not bleed (didn't know if I had to or not) anything and when I had the calipers apart I had brake fluid drain out. I just cleaned up the mess and continued with the brake job. Got it all back together with new pads (including putting the rubber washers between the caliper halves ), but now I have no front brake pressure.
I pulled the brake line off both sides of the bike at the calipers and pulled the front brake and fluid comes out with out problem. So the problem is that the calipers are empty, and pulling the brake lever does not seem to fill them, is there a procedure that I am missing?
