Re: bleeding brakes!?!?!

Make sure you bench bleed the MC thoroughly. It is sometimes hard to get all the air out, especially on the truck because it is at an angle. It is best to do it flat in a vise. Your front bleed screws should be at the top of the caliper. I like to vacuum bleed instead of pressure bleed. Finally, bleed using short clear tubing into a can of brake fluid. That way the air goes out and can't get back in again. It can be frustrating, but don't give up.
