brake bleeding 200

Sir, I can hear your frustration. Or see it, I guess.

I try not to offer advice, just descriptions and photos of my own experience or practice. But here I will try advising:

Time to step back and remember you alone are working on your car. You shouldn't take anyone's advice without fully understanding it. Working on brakes can have serious consequences. You will come to trust those who take the time to explain the reasons for the "way things are done", but you still must make your own decisions and set your own course of action.

Sometimes people just mistake good spelling for technical authority. Don't. Read as much as you can and back it up with questions when you have the opportunity. If procedure alone was all that was necessary, anyone with a Haynes or Bentley could open up a shop.

Well, I said enough, except to say, take it slow and careful with those brake jobs.
