Replaced the hose and attempting to bleed the front.
I would bleed the entire circuit
I would like to be sure no air is left in the lines. This is always a problem as the rubber lines and maybe other parts are above the m/c.
If you can’t access the MC, I would clean that up. You have to fill it eventually.
I have a hand vacuum pump, an electric vacuum pump, self bleeders and normal bleed valves.
How would you do it?
Motive pressure bleeder.
But that’s just me…
