Not sure what i did wrong but the calipers are actually rubbing on the discs! Little did i know that the calipers have an inner and an outer bleed valve. so i bled the fronts again inside and outside and its a bit better but the drivers side still rubs. when there is any left turning of the steering. Had a closer look and it seems like the inner pistons on both calipers are not coming out so the caliper is being pushed a bit by the outside pistons and its rubbing on the discs
Whats the the correct bleed sequence when you have calipers like this? I presume it would be same as Brembos. My rears are standard so only one bleed valve each. I never bled the rears since i didnt touch them today.
Would a full system bleed help remedy this?
So if i researched correctly it should be:
left rear
front right inner, then outer
Right rear
left front inner then outer.
I was doing this alone so just gravity bleeding, sucked out as much old fluid from the reservoir then topped it off with new stuff, then started to bleed the fronts. Once done a few stomps of the pedal until it was firm again and went for a drive. Any tips welcome. This was my first time bleeding the brakes on the legacy. Hopefully its just caused by wrong order of bleeding the calipers
I will need to take the AP calipers off the car to refurbish and probably split them as the wear plates are well and truly stuck in there and only way to get new pads in the caliper body would be to file down the ends of the backing plates but them that causes the pads to move and click in low braking situations.
I'll have to check with Godspeed can you split the AP caliper bodies without having any seal issues when they are put back together.
