sounds like you just have air in the lines from the install, re bleed them and try it again-Aaron, AKA ATL2001<br />93 3.4L <br /><a href=\"http://www.ilfba.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.ilfba.com</a> -
that install puts a ton of air into the lines. craig's leg almost fell off by teh time we were done bleeding his.

Yup, took FOREVER with the bleeding of the brakes!
Keep on bleeding the brakes, you will eventually get brake pedal feel and brake psi back, don't worry.Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

Raise the calipers up as high as you can into the wheel well, it should make it go a little quicker.<b>Black</b> 1998 Pontiac <i>Firebird</i> A-4 swap<br />271.4rwhp/259.4rwtq NA<br />13.30@102.44 <br /><a href=\"http://www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98\" target=\"_blank\">www.freewebs.com/wickedsix98</a>Comment

i had some slight leaks because i didnt tigthen down the nuts on the solenoid tight enough cuz i was scared to overtighten them...so we ended up bleeding them like 3 times...once I got everything tight it only took a couple of minutes to bleed them though...bottom line check for leaks lol00 GTP<br />98 Camaro v6<br />See, told ya I\'d be rockin another 4th gen :D<br />V6 & V8 tuning available at <a href=\"http://mysite.verizon.net/whenn1/\" target=\"_blank\">http://mysite.verizon.net/whenn1/</a>Comment

I would check for leaks, then bleed again. I think it took Craig and Tim almost 30 mins to bleed the front breaks after he installed his LL.

honestly thought I highly recomend getting a vacuum pump. I was smacking my head on the wall when I actually saw how much more easier it was with a vacuum pump to bleed clutch and brake system on fbodies.-Eric<br /><a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/mustangeater82\" target=\"_blank\">2000 NBM V6 Camaro 5-speed</a> T-top <i>converted</i><br /><b>14.467@95.45mph</b> <i>$0 in mods</i><br /><i>The member formerly known as MustangEater8251</i>Comment

When I did my line lock, it took me all of 5 minutes to blead the brakes with a vacumn bleader. Same thing when I changed the clutch fluid. So easy to use.

agreed, if you have a clutch definitley get one... made bleeding the brakes a 2 person job that took 30 minutes a one person 3 min job.Originally posted by arthansen:

I’m new. I actually don’t own a Camaro or firebird. I do have a 2000 Camaro 3.8 fly by throttle and 4l60e. This is installed in a 1980 Triumph TR7...2 weeks ago -
Not much going on, replaced my Kenwood double din stereo with a Pioneer double din, the Kenwood had problems. Then replaced my power inverter for my reverse...3 weeks ago
