    Rear brake on my 79 GS1000L

    Trying to figure out what's up with the back brakes on my bike. The master cylinder does build pressure and it's pushing air and brake fluid through the bleeders, but I'm trying to figure out if my caliper is froze or when you bleed the brakes, do you bleed those bleeders at the same time or do you alternate between the two? Thanks for the help!

    Alternate is fine. Bleed a little out of each side to get out most of the air.

    As an aside, I hope you tore down that caliper to clean out all the gunk. GS maintenance school 101.

    To measure is to know.

      My brakes

      I did take the caliper apart and did a good cleaning on it, haha I think the spider webs inside were thicker than the old pads! I'll give the alternate bleeding a shot tomorrow! Thanks and have a good one!
