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! |

Adapting a larger container that could attach to the fluid reservoir might speed things up a bit. The in an out checking the level trying not to go dry is a pain. The level goes down fast when doing the rears. I think I have an extra cap (someplace) and will look for a fitting that fits the hose and put it in the cap.
