Brakes sucking

Post by **TheLaird** » Wed Apr 30, 2008 3:34 pm

Hello all,

I'm having a bit of bother with the brakes on the Winchester. I replaced the rear brake cylinders today but now when I press on the brake pedal there's a strange kind of sucking and wheezing sound coming from what I assume is the brake master cylinder. Do the brakes just need bleeding or is it a bit more serious? Basically I haven't a clue whats wrong and shouting at it hasn't seemed to have solved anything.

All the best

Dan

Bleed them through, sounds like air being forced around where it shouldnt be!

They will certainly need bleeding. Sucking noise is strange - unless you have a servo fitted ??

Obviously not loud enough but seriously as mentioned you have bled the brakes after the cylinder change.

Hello chaps sorry about the delayed reply,

I bled the brakes on my rifle Sunday and it's done the trick and the handbrakes working too, hurrah! Thanks for all your help!
