Slowly read what you typed. How are we supposed to know what the hell your doing?

Do you know how to correctly bleed brakes in the first place?

To bench bleed the master you put 2 short lines out of it that loop back into the reservoir. fill the reservoir so that the ends of the lines are submerged then pump the piston back and forth till no more air bubbles come out of the lines.

Last time this happened to me it was a plastic one way valve on the master cylinder. If you look near the top of the drum their is a hose connected to a little plastic piece on the cylinder. Its cheap to replace so you could start with that.

I never knew you could do it like this. Seems a hell of a lot easier. I want to replace my calipers soon, and I thought the only way to bleed the brakes was the one-man bleeder with the little bottle.
