Re: Brake bleeding trouble... still

Attempt Gravity Bleeding first (after removing that tape). Go to the plumbing section at Home Depot or Lowes and get the smallest diameter 12" section of clear tubing that will fit over the bleeder. Slip it on and let it drain without letting the MC go dry. If its a bad MC you can get the air out and it will still have a soft pedal. Start at the LR corner of the truck because it is actually furthest from the MC. If or when you get the bubbles out of the LR move to the RR, you should only have to drain that one for a minute to clear from the "T" out. If you can't get the bubbles out you are taking in air along the line to the rear. I doubt this is the case because if you take in air you will let out fluid and a wet spot would indicate your leak. If you still have a soft pedal put an MC on it. RockAuto.com has both the hose and MC you are looking for for less than $20.00 each. My money is on a bad MC.
