Problem with bleeding,
I have the Phoenix V-5 and so far - I'm not impressed.
Still, a really Spongy Pedal.
Does this return air to an "already Bench Bled Master Cylinder" ?
And, this MC sits at a little bit of an angle, could that promote "Trapped Air" for any bleeding tool ?
This is a continuation from my previous post "That's the Brakes", in which I mentioned that this is a totally New system w/wheel disc.
Well I use the Phoenix reverse injector but I use a professional one that's made out of a stainless steel I do admit the plastic version is a lot cheaper and does not work as well. But if you bleed everything out with the lines open at the master then you bleed the master itself and reconnect the lines cuz there could be back up in the master now
Thanks Scotty,
I totally agree--for as much fluid as I have ran through the lines it had to have put air back into the Master, so I will take it off and bench bleed it again.
The plastic injector is not as good as your stainless, but it does manage to function nonetheless.
For a guy that has done Frame off restorations and an engine builder for many years, this has been a humbling experience !
I've found the Motive Power Bleeder to work really well, the main downside is you need an adapter to fit the master cylinder of each car you using it on.
Thanks,
yeah-I've been thinking about using that system if my troubles continue, should be about $70 for a Motive Bleeder w/the plate that will fit the old GM double Master Cylinder.
I appreciate your input !!
I have that Motive flat plate adapter for older American vehicles. It's tricky to get on there right and in some cases there isn't enough clearance for it to fit properly. I'd buy it from someplace you can easily return it to. Another possibility if that happens might be to make a home-made adapter from a junk master cylinder cap and a screw-on tire valve.
