I have never failed to get all the air out of the system with this procedure, AFAIK.
I do suppose that the two man procedure would be required, after this procedure, to completely prove my case. If the two man procedure netted no additional air, after this procedure, then I would have proof beyond any doubt.
I do have the suspicion that the m/c would rather draw fluid from the reservoir, which is sitting directly above the m/c rather than draw fluid from a cylinder that is sitting 15 inches below the m/c. It doesn't take much to prevent air from entering such a system. |
Well if you were under the car doing the 2 man method with you closing the bleeder before the second person lifts their foot from the brake pedal you would see this...its not a huge amount of air but its enough you will see more than the occaisonal bubble come through it. and they do rise back into the calliper quite quickly if you stop. I tend to be pretty anal when I see air coming out of the lines when I bleed..even a few bubbles.
I've had one of those one man bleeders....but I still enlist my wife to man the brake pedal when I am under the car...I get better results. True you way does work...and its safe, but some air does get in. The way I described gets even that last few bubbles out.
