Re: Bleeding brakes:why more pedal travel? 200 84

If,

Just did this. Take David's advice, and shy away from the vac device. I used the now-famous EZ Bleed, which uses pressure from a spare car tire. Search back on the brickboard for the URL listing for the vendor.

Get the manual if you're doing brakes at home. Cheaper than CAT scans after a crash. The Haynes has the correct DIY bleed sequence ($20). I think the Bentley and Volvo service manuals have the sequence for bleeding from the caliper back to the reservoir (makes more sense, really, bubbles rise).

You do have a bubble; maybe in the rear brake. Good luck.........
