I was bleeding my brakes today using the 2 man method and it was fine until I got to my last caliper and forgot to refill the brake fluid and I started pumping air into the last line.
So I put more fluid in and redid the last caliper.

Does that mean I just need to bleed the last caliper over or all 4 over?

 

all 4 and you're going to be bleeding for a while.. it'll be much faster with a pressure bleeder (it's like $75).

Do you know which exact pressure bleeder I should get?
I hear a lot of people saying they don't get good a good seal because they got the wrong one.

"Motive 0107 Universal Brake Bleeder"

I've had it since January 2009 and I still use it today.. =) make sure you dont OVER DO IT just 80-100lb of pressure is more then enough. two people (one watching the bleeder one opening the bleeder valves) makes the job cake.

Pressure bleeder is slow. You can apply much more pressure via your foot on the brake pedel than you can a pump to the ms. If you have two people the pump method is faster.

 

Just ordered one today.
Thanks ^^

80-100lbs?
I saw a DIY that said keep it at 15lbs and pump again if it drops to 10lbs.
That's a big difference.
Now I'm wondering if the DIY video meant 15lbs or a different unit

 

I used my Motive again this past weekend. 15 psi was just fine.

 

I use my motive at just under 10 psi. I heard of horror stories of piping coming apart at 15 psi and destroying paint jobs.

There's nothing slow about pressure bleeding - you can bleed with one person way faster then the two person method IMO, and have a reliable air free bleed.

 

I just do it to 80lb then i bleed two at a time.. no leaks after 5 years, just clean it up after you're done. and I dont just do my own G I use to do a lotta work for members cars as well.

It is not slow at all and you'll be able to do it easily yourself.. if you want to race.. yeah two people who know what they're doing may be faster but why bug someone when you're working on your brakes.. And for a dry master cylinder you're going to be two manning it forever.

I've found that vacuum bleeders are a bit faster and don't have the chance of a lid leak throwing brake fluid all over the place. I've tried them all.

 

How long should I wait after driving my car to bleed the brake fluid.
1 hour?
2 hour?
a day?

i bleed my brakes then turned the car on and the pedal went to the ground....no pressure..i checked for leaks and there is none...WHATS THE PROBLEM?.....

 

did you fix this problem if so what did you do? was there air in abs?

 

I did this recently since I do the 1-man method. Accidentally drained the MC and got air in the system. I just got carried away pumping the pedal and forgot to add fluid to the MC.

I simply rebled all 4 locations again. I went around twice just to make sure i got all the air out. When i was done, i was good to go.
