Could do with a bit of wisdom for the community here. Just come out of Annual, where I got new brake pads, but one calliper had to come off to clean up and replace the seals, and the master cylinder got new seals at the same time. My A&P spent several hours with a pressure bottle forcing fluid up from the bottom, but the results weren't great. I helped him pump stuff down from the inside using the pedals whilst he operated the bleed screw, and it was still no better. We went back to the pressure bottle and forced another gallon through the system, and got a few more bubbles to show in the reservoir return line, but the action is still far from good. Has anyone got a good method for purging all the air out of the lines? We are considering making an adapter up for the bleed nipple so as to be able to push a higher flow, but so far this is driving us crazy! Another through is to do this on jacks so the flow from the master cylinders to the reservoir isn't 'downhill', but it seems like a long shot TIA Ben
