Best Way to Bleed brakes?
#21
He had the MC completely drain out when that happens air will go up thru brake lines and get into the pistons on the MC. So if the resevoir was completely empty you have air in the MC. I have a 2003 mustang GT it has two bleeder valves on the MC. Once I removed the air on that the cars brakes was stiff again. I did what this fellow did, kept pumping brakes on all four wheels to no results, come to find out the MC has air in it, once I messed with that the pedal got stiff it was almost like I didn't even needed to go back to the wheels to bleed them again but I did just to be safe didn't really get any air bubbles thru the clear tube that was connected to the bleeder valves on each wheel but that was cool. still feels good knowing I did it anyways.

i still gotta figure out the tune situation. had it running before i left for about 5-10 minutes and started getting some nasty backfires... its still running the original tune, but i've changed the compression a bit, added cams/stage 1 heads/stage 3 springs, and deleted EGR completely. once i get it drivable, i have to drive it with 0 boost (plan on doing this for the first 1000 miles), get it back down to NJ, then i have to figure out the fuel situation and either go with an expensive *** dual pump fuel hat and just keep it above 1/2 tank always, or do the right thing and sump the tank and go with a return fuel setup...
then after that im gunna dump probably 3-4k into suspension/tires... PHB/TA with Koni yellows on Coilovers on all 4 corners here i come...
after that, its replace the gears to 3.08 and 31 spline rear end, maybe some exterior stuff, built transmission if mine pops. then maybe i'll enjoy the car for 20 years or so... lol
edit: oh and my BMW got towed, long story.. and im still in spain until the 30th... sweet... lol

Rubber hoses on the bleeders???? No fluid on the calipers.
