Brake Bleeding Woes...

[abhattan]

the quickest way to bleed the brakes is to get a jar or container filled with brake fluid and get a clear hose and submerge one end of the hose in the fluid. attach the other end to the bleeder screw. loosen the bleeder screw. with the master cylinder full, pump the brakes. you will see nothing at first because thats all air. shortly afteq, you will see the fluid flow through. close the valve and proceed to the next wheel. while doing this, keep an eye on the level in the master cylinder. don't let it fall less than halfway down the reservoir otherwise you'll suck in more air. do this twice and you should be fine. on the second pass, about 7 pumps should be fine. if you don't see any air bubbles then your done. don't worry about the very small bubbles. that's probably air entering in at the bleeder screw and the hose meet. by yourself it should take about 30 minutes, with a friend it should take about 15 minutes.
