Air lock in the brake pipe

Post by mickeytwonames »

Help please
I've got some air trapped in the brake system somewhere. I've done three rounds of bleeding and even bled the four way join at the Stop lamp switch. Does anyone have helpful tips about what else I can do- the brakes work fine after a light pump and no fluid is lost so the system integrity is in tacked?

Have you adjusted the brake shoes up as it could be the pistons taking up the extra adjustment
