History:
Needed a short pump or two on the pedal every morning to build pressure.
Replaced front calipers due to bulging boots and rust around the piston.
Bled M/C on bench.
Bled all corners in order (RR->LF) a few times, using the (solo) hose from nipple to fresh fluid bottle method. No bubbles. Also put teflon tape on nipple threads.
So now when I start her up and press the pedal there is minimal resistance. No leaks, and mongo froth in the front brake reservoir (rear M/C reservoir). Rear brake reservoir is sweet as can be.
I tried a phoenix pressure bleeder to reverse bleed fresh fluid from LF caliper up through M/C. No bubbles.
Whatch'all think, M/C front brake seals fubared ?
When car not running and I apply foot, I get firm pedal, but still some froth in M/C front brake reservoir.
Always hated this ****. Way back when I did Bill's Fleetwood rear disc conversion and bias bolt mod I had a huge pain in my ass with all the bleeding that goes along with it. grrr.
As always thanks in advance if you can help diagnose all this bleeding out my ass.
