Just to be on the safe side, as I'm trying not to introduce more air while I bleed...

Brake fluid reservoir: Is the filter screen the bottom of the reservoir, or just the bottom of the filler part? I'm operating under the assumption that that is just the top of the reservoir, but I can't really see blue fluid in the white reservoir...

At least I'm learning lots by getting dumb questions out of the way!

Like, should I be topping it off to nearly the point of overflow every 10 pumps? I've been working on one wheel for like 2 hours...

The screen comes out.. take it out and all should become clear.

rofl. will do. thanks

once the screen is out, you'll be able to see the level ....

Good god...

I've been bleeding a more or less empty brake system for 2.5 hours. Just on one wheel.

I'm pretty damn amused by it at the moment. Until someone tells me that something is now screwed up from it...

No, it will be ok. Be patient and pump the brake pedel real slow as not to make

any more bubbles than you have now. Don't let it get low again and it will work

out.

I think I started out with it empty from sitting with no calipers for a couple days. The right rear bled nicely and in a real hurry once I actually fed it fluid...

I'm keeping my sense of humor about me at least.

I think I found a leak in the right rear flex line. Not touching it for now.

Baptism by fire

Time for a test drive. I'm thinking 100-to-0 should be a good test.

Do what I do...

Brake bleeding made simple...

Why waste new fluid and worry about if the resi is getting low?

I didn't have a long enough hose to do the Trekkor method, and I was flushing anyway. Plus, I'm only a little closer to that now in light of the fact that I spent about 2 hours bleeding the right rear and topping off the fluid from the screen to the top of the filler before I realized that the screen thing came out and then discovered a gimongous empty fluid reservoir begging to be filled

just go to OSH or Home Depot and get the footage of 1/4" hose.

There's supposed to be a screen in the resevoir? Haha, just add that to the list of pieces my car is missing.

there should be a plastic cover, that goes over the top of the resevoir too. add that one to your list if you don't have one.

Or guys do what I do... even faster.

PUMP IT UP.


Faster because it's white too
