For those of you who are entirely on your own like me when running your car....who here uses pressure bleeders and what is your experience like?
I have a dual tube bleed bottle + pressure bleeder and i'm not sure if i'm doing something wrong. My master cylinders are on the RHS (UK) and so I start from the RR and work my way clockwise round to the FR. I open both nipples on each caliper at the same time and using the pressure bleeder, im' finding that i can never seem to get both sides of the caliper showing no air bubbles through the tubes, there always seems to be one side that shows a single small bubble every few seconds and its consistent.
I went round the car twice because the first time round the brakes felt ultra soft so figured i'd done something wrong, pumped the brakes a number of times (holding clutch in), and repeated the bleed procedure again. The pedal does feel better now but I just don't know if it's definitely correct or not. If I stamp on the brake and use all my strength I am reading 40-43 bar at the Front.
Am i doing this right, or is there something inherent with the nipple or caliper design that means I will always see this consistent air bubble appearing as a constant stream on each caliper?
i can't think of a better way to do this on my own.
