This is truly one of the more frustrating chores! If all precautions were taken and you dilligently followed the procedures they can still feel spongy. I had my car sit for two days and then did anot

I might have been lucky...I replaced my entire system, including calipers, cylinder, hoses, rear wheel cylinders, etc. I (alone) popped a hose on the bleed valve, opened it (with the hose in a jar of

what is your symptom that leads you to belive you have air in the system? 1) Do you see air bubbles coming out (I assume you are using a hose on the nipple)? That means you have air entering the sys

The only way I could get my brakes properly bled was to bleed the master cylinder before I intalled it in the car, then to bleed all the brakes. This is what the directions that came with my rebuilt

Not to get too picky here but the Left rear is furthest from the master cylinder. This is as the fluid travels not as the crow flys. Same on the front, L/F is further then R/F. The fluid travels fro

The garage that bled my Midget's said that it did not need to be running. The results were sufficient to get safety approval. The pedal is still a bit soft. Or . . . in other words, I don't know, but
