I spent another 1-2 hours tonight bleeding the brakes on my 914. The rears bled fine but one of the fronts (which I rebuilt) is giving me what seems like an endless stream of tiny bubbles. I haven't checked the other front yet but I am guessing it will too.

How long is this supposed to take?? Is bleeding brakes a day long job after you rebuild the calipers and put them on dry?

I've been through over 2 quarts of brake fluid so far. I think just on this one caliper we pumped it about 100 times! Tiny little bubbles forever and ever.

Also I noticed that the assembly lube I used is dissolving into the brake fluid, I get some blue bubbles from time to time as well. That doesn't seem right. I used the Permatex stuff in the little packets that says you can use it on caliper pistons etc etc.

Anyone have a pressure bleeder I can borrow? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif)
