I just got done changing my lines, rotors and pads, and am now bleeding the system with a one man brake bleeding kit with a vacum pump.

I have gone though a liter of fluid already and am still on the first caliper, wtf?? should it be taking this much fluid on the first caliper to get all the air out, there isnt even much fluid coming out in the hose, its mostly air, even after a liter of fluid has already gone though the system.

Please tell me what i could be doing wrong!

I am keeping the master cylender closed

 

It should be pretty straight forward.

Make sure all your lines are tight and nothing is leaking. Now one wheel at a time, do this:

1.Connect the hose from the vacuum tool to the bleeder screw and then open the bleeder screw

2. Pump the tool until the fluid leaving the bleeder screw runs clean and is free of bubbles

3. Close the bleeder screw and disconnect the vacuum tool hose

Does this sound familiar???

I got one of those MityVac kits & I'm learning to hate it for brake bleeding... (But it's already paid for itself in diagnosing a P1457.)

Take a fingerful of heavy grease & make a nice big fat bead around the base of the bleed valve. Most of that air is getting sucked in thru those threads. Use some grease to seal where you snap the hose onto the bleed valve, too. Then leave the lid off the reservoir, that way you don't need as much vacuum to suck fluid thru the lines.

But after it's all done, I still like to go around all 4 wheels one more time with someone actually pumping the pedal. Just to make sure.

Maybe I'll get a pressure bleeder before next time.
