brake bleed voodoo black magic

[Rocket99]

W123, new master ATE, all new hoses

Seems like it requires voodoo

so many folks say they do it "this way" or "that way" and "it never fails"

some swear by pressure, some by pump and hold

deviations from the "normal" are the rule. Its kookoo.

RE: bench bleed: I get zero bubbles after just a few strokes

and a sinking pedal, ie still air in MC

I tried removing MC from vice during bench bleed , rolling it around side to side, front back That way I started to get more bubbles after the usual routine, getting zero bubbles beyone the first few strokes,


In case anyone is following this saga, I had the rear calipers on the car installed L caliper on R side, and vice versa, so it did not bleed air, so now deeply soft pedal is resolved, but is sinks ever so slowly and requires big time pedal pressure , abnormally big pedal pressure
