I started to bleed the brakes tonight.
I know the order: Right Rear Left Rear Right Front Left Front Even when I started, I was getting bubbles in my hand pump (with cannister) . Now I get no, zero resitance on the brake Pedal. None...Zero... Should I close up all the nipples, push on the pedal a few times and then start over....repeat, repeat, repeat until I get a steady stream of brake fluid...? 'Lil Help on this one.. |

Those mityvac brake bleeders work in a pinch but they're a poor substitute for a two person brake bleeding. To get them to work at all, you have to have the bleeder valve closed, pump up a good vacuum, and then crack the valve a little, but close the valve again before all vacuum is lost. This prevents any air that gets drawn in around the bleeder valve threads from ending up back inside the caliper. If you just hook it up, open the valve, and pump, you'll be pumping forever.
Also, if your master cylinder is leaky at all, the vacuum method can draw in air there instead of fluid from the reservior. Do the 2 person method if you have 2 people. |
