I'm not sure what kind of bleeder you've been using, but this might be a possibility.

By the way, RC Imports did the suspension and differential mods to this car and they REALLY know what they're doing - I highly recommend them.

I was using a Motive Power Bleeder, it was full up. We'll see how my new reverse bleeder gizmo works.

RC Imports did a lot of mods to my car. Long before I bought it but they did them none the less. If I wasnt so far I would drive down and have them look see at these brakes!
