Patrick, with the Power Bleeder, I filled the container up with fluid, attached it to the MC, and pumped it up to around 10 PSI. Then I went around to each cylinder and unscrewed the bleeder screws, forcing fluid through the system. I was told that 15 PSI might be the number I should be striving for, but nothing higher than that.

Yeah, I've heard rebuilds don't always last, I'm really not sure why that is. Incorrect reassembly? Rubber seals not up to par??

I used rebuild kits on both my clutch master cylinders, and they have been working fine for years. Maybe I got lucky!
