Yes, he gave the Sermon on the Mount, it is written stone. JK, JK.

Here is a link to the Motive Power Bleeder Website. there is a video to watch on how to do it. One thing in the video, I would fill the container before setting it on the engine. and second, if you do need to refill it, I would not set the pump as he did leaning on the fender. brake fluid will bubble up the paint if it gets spilt on it.

Clink on the link under the Power Bleeder picture, lots of info about them.
there are others on the market not just this one. also you can make your own from a bug spreayer. I have a small one, maybe a gallon, came with one universal and one cap for the mercedes reservor.

Brakes systems seem to neglected until there is a problem. flush the system once a year, and will cut down on caliper and MC problems.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

Ok so I bled the brakes. Was very careful. Went slow. Drove the car after the work. The brakes were good. The fluid that was in the car was VERY DARK! Looks like coke.

Now I guess I just wait to see if the pedal drops again. I'm going to keep the master cylinder and tools in the car just in case.

Thanks so much to Leathermang and others that helped.
