brakes problems

bahama d22 · Nov 2, 2011

Brakes pistons lock up ,rebuilt calipers and now no brakes at all :rant:

.When it's off and I pump it gets hard ,turn truck on and push the brake it drops to the foor :sad:

...any help here please :thank_you2:

I'd wonder if the brake booster had some damage. That's the big round thing hanging behind the fluid reservoir.

Dave · Nov 2, 2011

When they were bled, was the load proportioning bled aswell ?

bahama d22 · Nov 2, 2011

it do feel sponge but no leaks

bahama d22 · Nov 2, 2011

sorry about the late reply ....i am between awake and sleep here!it's like 2:00 am where i am!so if can leave your five cents,it will be well spent!thank you for you time!

Dave · Nov 2, 2011

All good.

So you bled the 5 points to bleed in the braking system ?

bahama d22 · Nov 3, 2011

Ah what!What are the 5 points?I had a mechanic check it...but he might not know what he is doing either.He told me that the pump should be running but as Iwatch how stuff work the pump only come on whenthecar is moving and the brake is press because the sensor has to read the teeth on the hub when spinning!

Dave · Nov 3, 2011

The hub part with the teeth is the ABS sensors.

All 4 wheel cylinders and there is a load proportioning vavle under the tray. Above the rear diff.

bahama d22 · Nov 4, 2011

So do I have to bleed the abs block also!

Dave · Nov 4, 2011

Na, just try all the wheel cylinders and the load proportioning valve.

bahama d22 · Nov 6, 2011

Ok thanks,I was also wondering if I can use the rear disc brakes off a pathfinder or max??

if i remember right ABS needs to be turned off before bleeding brakes. there should be info on it in the service manual.

bahama d22 · Nov 10, 2011

My truck is on the road again :driver:

It was also the master cylinder[which cause the sponge brake feel]so I rebuild it and now ..... its done :thank_you2:

I had to rewire some electrical wiring because of shorts[from the origional owner]but all is well for now.The only problem I will now have to face isthe glow plugs feed wire burning off! after that it time to boooooost the hell out of it :sarcastic:

bahama d22 · Dec 3, 2011

I also had to change the brake lines,the nissan dealer over here didn't know what part it was from.Luckly they agree for me to help look for it,it happens to be a1999 altima brake line :sarcastic:

So far I had no brake problems it stops on a dime :dancing:
