What I learned today I thought would be very helpful to pass along
to the rest of this forum.
I was having serious issues bleeding my new disk brakes as I was getting air into the system. Everything I tried to get it out I was not
successful.
After several minutes of google and youtube.
I took a turkey injector syringe and attached a 1/4" clear tube on the end. Then used a tirewrap to secure it tightly.
Using the syringe I extracted some of the dot 5 from the master
cylinder this leaves room for the dot 5 to come in from the lines.
Then filled up the syringe from a new bottle of dot 5 and carefully
to knock out all the air. Then attached the other end to the bleed
connector at the caliper. Then holding it up right so the air comes
to the top I slow carefully flush the fluid toward the master cylinder,
watching the air bubbles surface. Once there was no more air
bubbles in the lines or coming out of the master cylinder I tighten
the bleed connector. Then repeat for the other side of the caliper.
If you need to you may need to remove some fluid from the
master cylinder along the way or you will have a mess.
Hope this helps someone in the future.
