    Having trouble getting pressure with the front brakes on my fj. Thought that I needed to install a seal kit however that done and still no pressure. Is there something I'm missing? Any help greatly appreciated.

    Tie the lever to the bar, crack the bleeders (set a pan under), and let it sit overnight, then bleed.
    Did you make sure that the return port is clear, and that the new piston seal is oriented correctly?

    I've heard of that one. Both ports in the reservoir are clear and I have just installed a new seal kit. I have brake pressure but barely any. Done the bench test and there is pressure there. The seal lips are facing toward the spring. Is this correct? Cheers
