I think I still have a little air in the lines. They seem kinda mushy with the car running. They pump up hard when it's off, but get soft when the car is running.

I guess these things are almost impossible to get the air out of................:mad2:
How do they feel at speed? :lol:

Furthest first.

I even went so far as to bleed the outside of my brembo calipers and then the inside.

Seeing as the car just sits anyway, ever try a gravity bleed?

Crack bleeders and let gravity take over. Just keep toping off the reservoir.

I used a Motive when I did mine, and didn't feel mushy after the bleed. Was easy as hell to do it with that system though. Only advice is to get two of their catch can bottles. I filled 1 and a half bottles (had to find another bottle) when I put Super Blue in.

2nd attempt at bleeding brakes to relieve the mushiness. I learned from the 1st attempt to secure the rubber tubes to keep them from flopping and slinging brake fluid all over the place when turning the wheel from side to side.

After careful planning, here is my solution.
