Brake bleeding issues.
I'm using the long tube method to bleed the brakes. I worked from rr, lr, rf, lf. I didn't have any problems bleeding the rr but when I hooked the hose up to the bleeder and pumped the brake pedal there was a lot of air bubbles in the line. I checked that the tube was attached completely and tried again. I was still getting air bubbles in the line. If I closed the bleeder and pumped the brake pedal it would firm up after a couple of pumps. I tried this 4-5 times but I always got air bubbles in the line. Is it possible that the bleeder screw is allowing air into the tube? If so, can I use teflon tape to better seal the threads? Any other suggestions? All of the calipers have been rebuilt by Eric. I've set the venting clearance on the rear calipers and the pads are new. -- Rob |

I used 2 of the small bottles and almost got all air out. It takes a second pump to really firm up peddle, so I am going for another round to get it right. That would be about a liter of the fluid.
