Line Lock Problems
I've been bleeding my brakes all day, and I keep getting more and more air in the lines. The line lock sounds like it's sucking in air when I step on the pedal. Is this possible? Is it worth trying to rebuild it or should I just replace it? Biondo has them for $39.99, if it's shot I guess I'll just buy a new one.
My neighbor said that he remembers from when he installed his line lock it was supposed to be up and down. Mine is side to side, does this make a difference?

It should be mounted up and down. I would think it spit when you stepped on the peddle and suck when you release.
Where is it sucking air from. Maybe you have a bad brake line or brake line connection.
I know they are rebuildable but for the price I would replace it if its the
unit itself.

Like Tony said, it should be mounted upright with the brake lines out the sides. I've never tried to take one apart, but I'm sure it's a simple restricted orifice that, in your case, is most likely the victum of some dirt or debris. Try disconnecting the brake line, blow some hi pressure air through it backwards.

Mine is a Biondo unit, the brake lines come out of either end, not the side.
I've already bypassed it, the "sucking" sound is gone, so I'm gonna assume that it's no good. I'm gonna re-bleed the front to make sure there's no air in there and I can get a good pedal, then I'll order a replacement.

hi..i had the B&M linelock on the mirada..and i hated it...it was slow to disengage...and after pushing my skinnies the first 25 or 30 feet a few times, i took it off, and havent looked back. in the CC national circuit, it seems that LOTS of guys in sportsman run them, but i cant figure out why.
