Hello!
I was bleeding my brakes with my friend this weekend, and figuring that I'd like to keep him as a friend, I volunteered to crawl under the truck and run the bleeder screws.
The only problem is that he's never bled a manual brake system before and he didn't know what I meant when I said "Make sure all of the air is out of the master cylinder."
So, after he kept losing pedal, I crawled out from under the truck and figured out that he hadn't gotten the air out of the MC and I took over for a while.
Now, if I give it a couple of good pumps, the pedal comes right back, which is what I'd expect if there's air in the system (which there is.)
At first, I was getting bubbles when I was trying to bleed out the MC, but now I don't. The fluid level goes down when the pedal does (as I would expect) but comes back up to about where it was when I started. Sometimes I get a rather enthusiastic spurt.
Does this mean that the air is out of the MC and I now need to get it out of the lines?
Thanks in advance,
-Brendan
