ok, I know i have asked many questions about brakes this weekend hopefully the last one. I have a mityvac and all tubes are hooked up correctly. I turned the bleeder plug about 1/2-3/4 turn. When I started to pump I was only getting a small amount of fluid along with air, I increased the turn on the bleeder plug and this did not help. Am I missing something or should I just go back to the old fashion way of a two man bleeder system.

I have learned alot the this weekend.

As always thanks!!

Bet you are sucking air between the fitting and the threads in the hole. Sometimes I have the same problem

take the bleed valve out and check the bleed hole, it may be full of road gunk. simply blow it out or run a small drill thru .

Wrap the threads on the bleed screw with teflon tape, and it will work.
