ORIGINAL: Alan 123

Would one of those Minvac systems work?
I use a fluid extractor to bleed everything...the trick is getting one with a pressure guage (like a motive brand) and only pumping it to -5.(so you don't draw air past the piston seals)The very slowly vacuum bleed the caliper. Just make sure the caliper is positioned so the bleeder is at the highest point. On some calipers you have to remove one bolt and slide the caliper around to orient it so the bleeder is at the highest point. The extractor will siphon all the air out of the system.

If your still having this problem, try this, it's fool proof and always works... Take almost all the fluid out of the res. Turn the bars to the left with the cap off. Crack the bleeder, and reverse bleed the brakes from the caliper to the master. pump fluid fluid (DOT 5) into the bleeder. when the resfillp up, there is no more air in the line or caliper, takes about 5 minutes, not overnight waiting on gravity. when you tighten the bleeder, topof the res, put the cap back on, andyou'll have pressure in the lever. and no mess, one man job..

Hope this helps you out. let me know when your done..

OK here is the fix for jaybreak master cyc problem not bleeding do this from campincowboy http://www.moccsplace.com/images/bra...er/bleeder.htm

if this doesnt work simply remove the bottle and leave the fluid in the tube mine was about 7' long and apply a pump /vaccume gauge
to the end where the bottle was and apply about 10 to 30lb pressure to the tube .being careful NOT to let air back in the system.
The pressure will force the air out of the hard to bleed master cyc.The little bubbles will start Then the flow of fluid .If it dont wiggle the break lever if that dont do it pull in the handle and let go (I mean let your fingers slip off so the handle will slam back into the ready position.)several times if ness This is the only way for a stubern master cyc. THIS WORKS !!! Then it will have a stiff handle!!!! reinstall cap and happy motoring
