just finished fitting my rear discs but cant seem to get all the air out of them.
i used 80 series front lines to join the old lux lines to the subaru calipers. has any one had this problem before ive been through 2 bottles of brake fluid and still the same. is it possible there is an air lock some where

are you sure its air? not a leaky master cylinder or similar allowing pressure to dissipate.
describe what the same is.

thanks for the help guys all sorted now turned out the callipers where just chewing more fluid then the drums did makeing so it had lots of pedel travel so i thought they had air.
adjusted the push bolt on the pedal and its all sweet got a short hard pedal and great breaks.
hey Rory would i be right in saying you know of some one who approves cross over steering

just in case any one is interested thought i would put up some prices as it a nice conversion and cheep as to do for what you get all up you can do it for $260 mines was only $210 as i made my own brackits as my diff has too muck bracing to run a bought set
calipers $130 pair
rotors $50 pair (actually was a 1125 rum)
break lines $20 pair from wreckers
high tensile bolts $10 (the wreckers didnt give me the bolts to bolt the caliper on)
set of brackits $50 (from roctoy but i made my own)
