I'm having trouble reviving the brakes on the 300D. The system was opened with replacement of master cylinder, front caliper rebuilds and hoses.
I tried a manual bleeding today with the aid of my brother but still don't have brakes. I think I was not doing it 100% correctly but seems it will take forever to get all the air out.
Will a Motive Bleeder or EZbleeder work on a recently opened system, or not?
Thanks.

Josh,
For bleeding a system that has been opened, run the engine while you are using the two man method. The added power from the booster is often necessary for bleeding 123 systems especially if one of the "men" in the two "man" team is an 80 pound young lady. My daughter used to help me and I learned quickly that she just didn't have the oomph to put enough pressure on the lines. With the engine running it was no problem.
Good luck,
