You know my solution to air in the system, correct?

Get a horseradish bottle and a length of hose. Fill the bottle with about 2 ounces of fluid and put one end of the hose in the fluid. Open the bleeder one turn and connect the hose.

Get in the vehicle and press the pedal 10 times. Get out and refill the m/c.
Get back in and press the pedal 5 more times. Get out and close the bleeder without removing the hose. Remove the hose and fully tighten the bleeder.

Repeat for the other three wheels. (Fill m/c prior to next wheel)

Pressure bleeder not required. When you mash that pedal, you force all the air right on through the lines.


I'll have to rebleed this week then! I'm just frustrated at this point. Also found out that the L needs a ball joint on the Driver side.
