ran into a snag after flushing the Front brakes and putting in new brake fluid.. after flushing the previous brake fluid out and putting the new fluid in and bleeding it, the brakes no longer work.. and no matter how many times the brakes are pumped (squeeze the lever), no tension builds up at all but there is fluid being pushed out when opening the bleed valve.. any suggestions?

also noticed that the fluid in there before was a dark reddish color and seemed kind of heavy compared to the new fluid which is kinda transparent and light.. been bleeding this for over a few hours! and there is no noticeable pressure build up or tension when squeezing the front brake lever.. any suggestions?

 

You might have gotten some air bubbles inside your tubes. Not sure how to do it myself, but I know if you get air in there your brakes won't work. Did you make sure you sealed up all the valves properly? Did you refill the brake fluid before or after you closed the valves?

 

yea, thanks for the advice.. i spoke to a tech that told me to keep bleeding.. apparently i didnt bleed long enough.. its all ready to go now! woohoo!

i actually took pics this time and put together a tutorial;
