So the other day I noticed my pedal was feeling a little "different", and fortunately, I got the load out of the bed at the dump, and then my pedal went to the floor in my driveway last night.
Upon inspection, there was some fluid present inside the boot, went and got another slave cylinder today (Mel, thanks for the past posts on the little installation strap ). I got it installed inside of 20 minutes, but I can't seem to get the air out of the line. I am by myself, and I was basically putting the pedal to the floor, bracing it with a 2 x 4 against the drivers seat, cracking the bleeder (who the hell put that thing where it is ) closing the bleeder, then bringing the pedal up really slow...........repeat.
I am getting a nice stream of brake fluid (actually hitting the front axle tube) but the pedal still isn't near where it needs to be. Am i wasting my time trying to do this by myself?
One last question: when I refill the master cylinder, I am pushing the rubber diafram "inside itself" and filling the reservoir as high as possible, then when the level lowers with the bleeding process, it's almost fully "expanded" into the reservoir when I go to add more fluid.
Am I missing anything, or do I just need another set of feet?
