there is air in your brake system after you drain out the brake fluid...

bleed your front brake will solve your problem...

DIY bleeding

if anything u not very sure or 1st time doing, better ask around 1st..

cos u do wrongly may cost u a bomb..

by rite, no need to drain the fluid out..

u juz need a screw driver to pry open the gap so u can place back yr brake..

You forgot to bleed the brakes..

[FunkyChicken]

open ur top master cylinder, below there is a bleeding nipple covered with black rubber cap. release the nipple screw a bit, depress ur lever a few times and tighten ur nipple screw. depress the lever till u feel the lever is stiff and top up brake oil. repeat the sequence untill u lever dun feel spongy and no more bubbles appear at ur master cylinder.

 

juz be careful of the brake oil not to spill on ur paintwerk, i always standby cloth on my tank and a bottle of water.

 

if still not werkin than is ur brake psiton seal worn off or piston jammed. have it service n shud be ok.

For your information your mechanic sucks.

 

Where in the world would you need to bleed 2 places? In the first place where in the world would there be a point to bleed at the reservoir?

 

Once your entire brake system is connected, all the bleeding would be done via the calipers thru the nipple points.

 

Even for larger brake system where there could be a t-joint you would also NOT have a point to bleed at the resevoir end.

 

Fxxk-up mechanic, talking craps to con customer of more $$$!

he didnt take anything from mi la. cus my friend regular customer. aniway maybe i didnt bleed properly? still noob haha. aniway the whole brake can be taken out or detech. so i think a piece of advice for ppl whu intend to take out the front wheels for ani reason, take out the whole brake before taking out the wheel so can save the trouble of bleeding or watever i went through.
