Hi, I just swapped out my old drum brakes for disc. I bought a set of those tie down full brake kits, hoses, and a new actuator a Areo-6000
We started bleeding the brakes and everything was fine then the calipers wouldn't release. I thought that maybe they sold me the wrong actuator, so I tore it apart to remove the check valve but there wasn't one there, on the back side was nothing but the nipple and on the other side was the plunger with a bunch of holes in it a rubber cap and a spring.
Well after removing the actuator the calipers were still locked, no fluid came out of the lines, so I had to open the bleeder and use a screwdriver to spread the pads to release the brakes. I even pulled the plug on one of the T fittings and there was no fluid coming out. I'm totally perplexed
Anyone know what in the world is going on with my brake system?
Oh, I did not install a reverse solenoid, I figured its not that big of a deal to flip a lever while unhooking the boat.
Thanks
