  • Will Motive Power Bleeder remove air from the MC?

    So I replaced my brake lines a few months ago. I bled the brakes probably 6-9 times but still got bubbles every time and the pedal is very soft. There are no visible leaks anywhere.

    So I bought the Motive Power Bleeder thinking it might help, but I still have the same issue. The only thing I can think of is maybe I ran the MC dry at some point without realizing it, but since the Power Bleeder bleeds from the top, doesn't it bleed the MC? I figured I wouldn't need to bench bleed the MC since the power bleeder does the same thing, but maybe I am wrong.

    So any help?

    Allot of times air leaks in through the bleed screw and it looks like air is in the system still. But since you said that your brake pedal is mushy, you may still have air in their somewhere.

    Hook up the Power bleeder as instructed AND have someone help you bleed it the "old fashioned" way at the same time. This seems to do the trick.

      I'm not sure if this is overkill for you or not, but you might try reverse bleeding the brakes. I've done it a couple times and it worked well.
