at my wit's end with brake bleeding (who else says "blake breeding" on accident?... ok just me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)) anyways...
tried the old fashioned "get a buddy" method... this helped me find all my leaks... fun.. so after replacing all the lines, the master cylinder and a rear caliper, we tried again (3 weekends into this so far... ) Builds a little pressure, go to next wheel.. try again.. no change, but good flow.. after doing all 4 corners and getting good flow with no air at each one, STILL pedal almost goes all the way to the floor with little pressure... finally got to that point where you don't mind spending money to make the process easier, so i went to FLAPS and got the MityVac thing... $40 later i get home and go back to work... got the process down and got good flow at each tire again, reservoir staying full throughout... STILL sh*tty pedal feel... so at the time of this writing.. i quit! |

Here is my two cents .... Yes these are all good methods of dealing with brake bleeding. I have had really good luck bleeding all kinds of motorcycle braking systems with my "Vacula" It's made by the swiss. and man It has always kicked ass. Now i have not bled a 914 but will be tomorrow, when i reinstall my pedal assembly.
I'll let you know how the power bleeder (vacula) works |
