[QUOTE="james1300, post: 279722, member: 190"] You can count on getting tiny air bubbles past the threaded bleed nipples. Don't worry. If it REALLY bugs you, you can evacuate the entire system, then remove the bleed nipples and using Teflon tape wrap the nipples threads. That will keep the tiny bubbles from showing. However brake fluid will attack and eventually erode the tape. The next time you bleed the system you will have to repeat the process. Its a Pain. Do like the others. Bleed until clear. DO NOT pump the levers with the caps off! OK, a final 'Trick'. Sometimes the levers wont feel real firm, after bleeding. heres a TRICK to use. After bleeding to the best of your ability, squeeze the lever (with the reservoir full, and cap on), half way and hold it in place with a zip tie or tape. Over nite. In the morning pump the lever and it should pump up hard. [/QUOTE]
