Got the MC installed, all lines attached.

Watched Ian Karr's video.


Started to bleed, seeing old brake fluid and lots of bubbles, after about fifteen minutes of this I am not seeing a stream of fluid coming down the clear plastic tube. Yes the end is submerged in brake fluid. Checked for leaks at the MC and dry as a bone. Check inside car and dry also.

I have never done this before so just wondering and asking for suggestions, ideas and don't do that.

Thanks

Renee

I have never done this before so just wondering and asking for suggestions, ideas and don't do that.

I recently did this for the first time. We did it the old fashoined way with one in the car pumping the brake, and me at the bleeders. We had a completely new system (master cylinder, hard lines, hoses, calipers). It took a lot of time. More than you would think.

Perhaps obvious, or not since it's your first time:
1. Make sure you don't let the master cylinder reservoir go dry, or you will have to start over.
2. Start at the caliper farthest away from the master cylinder and work your ways closer. (Passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front).
