Hey zoomers,
I just changed the pads/rotors and painted the calipers on all four wheels of my 02 P5, and now I have no brakes pressure. The pedal will go all the way to the floor if I push it once, but if I pump it a few times it stiffens up. After it stiffens, if I let it sit for a second or two it depressurizes again. I've tried bleeding all four calipers using this guide twice. My clutch still works fine so I know the MC is okay (not to mention it's brand new).
I do have one unprofessional hypothesis. When I removed the calipers to paint them, I left the part with the piston in it to hang from the lines (probably not wise). I thought this could have damaged the lines, but there are no signs of leaking.
Other than that, I had to take the rear driver caliper completely off, disconnecting the brake line to get the piston back in. And I also accidentally popped both front pistons all the way out of their calipers. Those are the only abnormal things that occurred in the process.
Any advice would help! I'm stuck (gratefully) with a buddies Grand Prix for the time being... *shiver*
