Default Filling brake fluid reservoirs.

Finally got around to bleeding the brakes today. No change in the somewhat spongy pedal but it caused me to need to add fluid to the reservoirs. Up under the driver's side fender, access is, well, less than easy. NO way to pour our of anything into them. Thought about some sort of funnel with a flexible spout, hose and a measuring cup, jacking up the right side of the car really high...... Then I remembered some truely neat plastic dispensing bottles that I had bought years ago to add oil to nearly inaccessible spots on machine tools at the shop. Headed over there, searched the basement, and YES!! I always buy more than I need and that time was no exception.






Hope this helps someone else. The source was US Plastics, try Thermo Scientific

And if anybody can give me a hint as to why the brakes are still spongy with no air in the lines, I would certainly appreciate it.

Thanxalot,

Pat
