Brake Bleeders

[davids2toys]

JFZ Racing brakes were comon in the 70's & 80's, a lot of open wheel cars ran them and also some sportscars racers I think they were aquired by Sierra Racing products. As far as I know the were always American made so they are probably 7/16" SAE threads.
Sierra ( http://sierraracing.com/cgi-bin/list...?file=specials ) look about half way down the page and see if these are your calipers.

Thanks Jerry, I appeciate it...I will call them!

Well I called and got quite the education about my front brakes,deflection, hub,lugs , calipers, 4 bleeders...man did I do this all wrong, this cobra I bought is nothing at all like any car I 've owned in the past!!!
This winter I will rip it all apart, re-seal the calipers, do some measuring that he told me to do, and get everything up to snuff.
Would you know the bleeding order if you have 2 bleeders per caliper?

The Wilwood's have four bleeders per caliper.

David,
Couldn't you clean the bleeders out?

I did not know the bleeders were in 2 sections, I was trying to crack the whole body of the bleeder using a 7/16 wrench, I needed to use a 1/4 wrench and open the top section only.

I did not even see or bleed the outside bleeders! I guess the wheels need to be off to do this job correctly!
The backs bled no problem.

That is usually a given for disc brakes. Sorry for your troubles. It makes it a 100 times easier to get to everything and inspect the rotor and caliper.

Yes, with a cobra, probably true, or doing more than just bleeding them...but for just bleeding I have never removed the wheel. Lesson learned...lol
