shawn941 Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 I have had good luck with this method: unbolt the caliper from the axle carrier and put a piece of flat bar metal between the pads in the caliper. Then hold it above the rear master cylinder reservoir with the bleed screwe at the highest point. Open the bleed screw and gently step on the brake pedal, but don't let it bottom out. Before the pedal gets to the bottom of its travel, close the bleed screw and then release the pedal, wait a couple of seconds and repeat. This seems to work because air likes to rise and by making the bleeder the highest point, it gives the air someplace to go and get out of the system. You want to only stroke the pedal 1 time for each time you open the bleeder screw to prevent aerating the fluid. This method will probably require a helper, but isn't that what wives and GFs are for. Sometimes the open bleeder screw and keep the reservoir full method will work because it will gently wash the bubbles out with the fluid, The main thing is you don't want to induce a bunch of air into the fluid at the master cylinder by pumping the pedal violently. x2,,,this worked for me and i didnt even unbolt it,,,,its just a little soft but not bad at all.....
