creak after bleeding brakes

[DomP182]

Followed the correct bleed procedure farthest first etc. But maybe not level ground, kept res.full but I now have spongy brakes and a creaky pedal. Sounds like air- my biggest fear!

Any tips?

 

[DomP182]

Re-bleed them but now worse my car won't start, tries to turn over then stops half way, battery from the ignition being on?

 

[DomP182]

Battery on charge now back to the bleeding, I can hear creaking in the lines at the rear(possibly air?) But it won't come out. Put near to a litre of ATE super blue in now.
One other thing should the reservoir be touching the back of the engine block? It has to be pushed back to even get the top off

Reservoir shouldn't be touching the engine no...

What method are you using for bleeding, pressurised or manual pedal pumping?

 

[DomP182]

Good old fashioned two man, why it's mine touching? Moved res. Or knackered dog bone mount, it looks ok tbh.

 

[JamesBryan]

Not sure why yours is further forward...

Mine is pretty much against the back of the engine bay with that little foam bit that gets in the way.

You are only lifting off the pedal when the bleed nipple is closed aren't you?

 

[DomP182]

Yeah they are under strict instructions. Oh my old rusty calipers are somehow quite appealing now!

 

[JamesBryan]

10-15 pumps per caliper should sort it.

 

[DomP182]

I hope so.

Dragging this up again since I tried an easybleed but don't seem to be getting any air out. With ignition off I get a good solid pedal not so good with it on and a slight grumble noise right at the top of the pedal travel, (I'm presuming this to be air?) after that though the braking seems to be not so bad in use. I've heard people saying to pump the pedal and easybleed at the same time is this going to solve it?
