- I have had personal experience with that sort of thing too; but not with the spridget (that I know of yet). I had a caliper that would stay on when hot. Good point! I don't know. you leak got

- Okay, what's the secret with the mitivacs (or whatever they are called)? I can't get the thing to work as a one person tool. The brakes will bleed the old fashioned way, but not with the mitivac (oka

- Hi Robert, I had the same problem with my brakes too. Then I found out it was leaking. One of the fittings had not been installed back the same way. It was a slow leak, a drop at a time. This prevent

- Thanks, that's what I thought. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything. The pressure stays up and the fluid doesn't flow unless the pedal is pumped. I'm baffled and the brakes are pretty muc

- I'm putting clear fluid in and getting beige (sedimenty) fluid out. If you mean pumped up the system with the peddle, I've done that. Robert D. PS: 4 different wrench sizes for the bleed screws. Robe

- I guess this is where I become technically challenged ... wouldn't a leak in the line somewhere, improve the flow at the suction end. This just sits there and retains suction pressure. When I disconn

- Two things I would try. 1. Make sure you ave the bleeder open enogh turns to allow the fluid to flow. 2. Remove the bleeder and check thet the small hole in the tapered end is not plugged -OR- repla

- Yes, eventually it gets good air from around the threads. I've tried removing the bleeders and putting teflon tape on the threads. That fixes that problem, but the symptoms are still the same. (Mity
