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.. |

Here are a couple of tips for good brake bleeding results., especially if using the 'one man' bleeders. Remove all the bleeder valves and make sure they are clean and not clogged with dirt, and lightly wire brush the threads. Then apply Permatex thread sealant on the threads and reinstall. This will prevent air from being sucked back in around the threads when they are cracked open for bleeding. Second thing, if the master cylinder lost fluid and run dry, I've seen air bubbles get trapped where the lines run somewhat horizontal under the gas tank. Grab the two lines and shake them and that can let the air bubbles float up to the top. If you see bubbles rise just keep shaking until they are all gone. Just don't go nuts and pull the lines out of the master cylinder.
