Brake Bleeding - Unusual One

[bennn]

Not on a DC5 but I'm sure someone on here may be able to help.

I'm in the process of bleeding the brakes in my EP3.

Have done O/S/R, N/S/R.

Now I've got the the N/S/F I just can't seem to get the air out of it, it just keeps coming.

I've already bled them once and had the same problem last time, just this one corner that is giving me grief.

Has anyone got a clue what this could be?

I'm using an easybleed kit with a non return valve that I've used before with no trouble, I just can't seem to bleed this corner. I've put about 500ml of fluid through now and I'm still getting air bubbles!

Get a mate to do it with you and lock it off at the nipple, sounds like you've got air getting back in through the non return valve to me.

I'd rule that out first before hunting for other potential causes.

Thanks Dave. I did think that but all the other corners bled fine. I've got the air out now. I lowered the car so it was level then bled again, all fine. Unsure if the car being level sorted it or it was just a conincidence but I put a fair bit more fluid through with no bubbles.
