Mike the hoses are pretty big. The only other thing I can think of is that when i was bleeding back when I first installed the Master my wife said it was getting better then all of a sudden she said it was worse. I suppose i could have sucked in a little air but the Master is dead level so i would think it would bleed out. When I first connected the remote reservoir the fluid ran right down to the master.

My next test will be to remove the remote and bleed from the master keeping an eye on the fluid with a mirror. If that doesn't solve it i may remove the master and bench bleed again.

I haven’t taken any of the other drums off to visually check the if the wheel cylinders are leaking. The drivers side front was leaking and I changed it out. It was pretty obvious when I pressurized the system that fluid was dripping from the backing plate. I would think the others would be apparent as well.

I have Ben gravity bleeding the system thinking that if air is leaking in the height of the remote would’ve prevent air infiltration and allow the contents of the lines (fluid or air) to be expelled at the bleeder. That does not seem to be working.

If all that’s fails before i revert back to the old master i may take the ruck to my local garage hand see if they can power bleed the system and sort it out.

Thanks for the suggestions I will be happy to find out if it is the remote but sad that it took me so long.
