I thought I bled my brakes :-(
So today I pressure-bled my truck's brand new master, combo valve, lines and brakes. I used the Motive pressure bleeder.
I went around all four corners from nearest to master to furthest. Bled each one until there were absolutely no bubbles. Capped everything up, went to hit the pedal (not running yet) and it was soft. After one pump it was high and hard though (no puns). I did notice that when I took the Motive lid off the master the back reservoir (which is the front wheels) was empty or close to it. But I don't think it had uncovered any port yet. There's also something in the shop manual about having to lock out the combination valve while bleeding, and I don't even know what that means. There's no ground present at the Brake light switch. I've still never in my life successfully bled brakes. True, I could do the old pump and turn the screw method, but I think that would have just got me to this point more slowly.
