Re: dumb brake bleeding question
UPDATE: I ended up taking the MC off the booster, and mounting a plunger rod in the vice, and doing the bleeding there while I watch. Instructions say to keep the MC level, but I would have been trying (just like when it was mounting on the truck), until the end of time. It appeared that the reservoir toward the front pretty much had the air out, but the back didn't. What finally worked, was to tip the MC down each time after stroking it, and tapping the end of the MC on the workbench. Then, when I stroked it again, I'd get more air bubbles out. It still took 15 to 20 minutes of repeating this, but finally the air went away, and the plunger would only go in about 1/16".
I remounted the MC, and I have good brake pedal now. Have to finish up the brake lines before I can try it out..... of course, I got the wrong size plug to that job :-(
