use a vacuum pump, have someone keep brake fluid full, do not it go low or you will introduce air back into system,
look online for bleeding brakes using hose and jar and brake fluid. either of them is easy. HF also sells his item.
sounds like u need a set of brakes , and you may have let it go a little too far as if it grabs that could mean its cut up the rotors and drums , id get it to a repair center asap to prevent any further damage (and cost) to rrepair it
Bleeding the ABS Brake Control Module On Chevy Using Snap On Solus Ultra
Sometimes it can be a nightmare bleeding the brakes. There seems to be problem after problem or no progress, irrespective of how many times you bleed them. Just a few weeks ago I had the same problem on a 4 litre Jeep.
Have a look on those two links. You obviously know how to bleed brakes and will pick up a tip or two online.
I was in the same position as you - hard pedal until start up after a brake overhaul. I wouldn't like to think how many times I bled the braking system everywhere and nothing worked. Eventually on a Jeep forum somebody suggested changing the brake compensator valve. I did .. and the brakes worked perfectly.
Read a few websites first. You'll het there in the end.
1990 Chevy 4.3 l engine runs rough at idle half the time-- sometimes it's OK, other days it's rough and can smell raw gas, as tho it's running rich... any ideas?
I read this same problem all the time, the reason u can't bleed the lines is that a special tool is required that pluge into the ABS and holds the hydraulic valves in the ABS control open for bleeding, there is no way around this.
One of the wheel cylinders is leaking, pulling air back into brake system and it's going back to the4 master cylinder. Look for brake fluid leaking at one of the wheel cylinders, that's where the problem is.
have one person in the blazer pumping the brake pedal and then hold to the floor, crack the bleeder then tighten, release pedal, repeat till all air is out one side at a time, if this does not work then your ABS unit is bad witch if u follow your lines from your master cylinder u will find a black box with a motor on it, or the master cylinder itself is bad, it also can cause u to have no pedal, replace the master cylinder first, most likely cheaper.
it could be possible a sensor or a solonoid in the braking system has gone bad. Also, I would simply check the fluid level, as the brakes wear out, the system requires more fluid to be added to it.
