Baron:
1. Overnite left the fronts attached ... due to having gotten fluid in both yesterday ... and bled.
2. Overnite the 2 rear lines remained attached to the MC also.
3. This morning attached old caliper hose to r-rear line at MC ... borrowed neighbors compressor ... held nozzle to end of old hose ... pushed thru 65 pounds of air thru the hose and regulator ... got gunk out of line ... and eventually nothing but air.
4. Without thinking too much, next loosened the line from the l-rear wheel in preparation to 'blow' it out.
5. But instead of doing that, decided to go ahead and push new fluid to r-rear with the pedal pump process. After 6-9 strokes, nothing was coming thru, and vacuum pull was minimal ... unlike when at the MC process.
6. When walked around to the left side, fresh fluid had been pumped out of the l-rear line previously loosened for purging. Interestingly enough, the fluid on the floor was nowhere as dark as what came out of the r-rear.
7. So now, due to clean fluid on floor, decided l-rear did not need to be purged ... so proceeded to bleed as normal with my bleeding kit.
8. Now on to the r-rear. In the configuration of all the above, there just ain't no fluid coming thru. So rehooked up purge air and had assistant do the air nozzle bit while I observed at the wheel. Nothing but good flow of air, insuring that nothing is blocking.
9. This tells me that I am still doing something wrong at the MC end. The way I read your guide is to plug all MC ports and then to, one by one, bleed a port ... and leave sealing plug in place as I move on to another port ... meaning that at the end, all 4 ports will have been bled and plugs remain in the ports.
10. So today, I have the fronts not touched since yesterday ... and presumably still OK after the bleeding process with them.
FINALE ...
so should I now 're-bleed' the 2 rear wheel ports
(the most difficult ones reach on the bottom of the MC to adjust) ...
one by one and leave plugs in ...
install one line ...
pump fluid to wheel ....
bleed that wheel ...
then same process to the other wheel ? ?
Just want to make sure that fronts can be left as is from yesterday afternoon ... and will not be effected ... internally with the MC process ... if the above
FINALE is correct.
Realize I am a bit dense with this ... but APPRECIATE your patience and input TREMENDOUSLY ! !
If you have an old wheel laying around - another thing that might be worth trying -
Cut the old valve stem off - slip it over the brake line, with the line nut pushed back outta the way. Could even hose clamp it onto the line if needed. Might be worth a try, and the tire inflator would like that.
