So I decided that I should go with the 4-wheel disc master drove 85 mille round trip EARLY this AM so that I could install the new master and still meet up with the folks going to HON. Well I got back in record time installed the new master and found that it DIDN'T have ANY residual valves. Called my local parts house and they had Wilwood #2 valves.........at $25 each. So I figure that what the heck I need them and I may at this point be able to catch up with the caravan at their lunch stop. Get everthing ( new plumbing is required for the valves), bleed the system and SAME THING. brakes start off low and a couple of pumps they are at the top. I tried every consievable bleeding method adn finally after talking to a local long time brake specialist who advised pressure bleeding back through the bleeder toward te master.I found that my new brake bleed/Mini-vac also had a pressue side so I tried it. I now have moderately good pedal, it comes up a bit when pumped but I will check in the AM to see how it is. I feel that if they stay as they are that they are safe and any residual air will work to a bleed point or be discharged back through the M/c.. I have already decided that this winter will be front suspension and the rest of my new braking system (calipers).
BTW: If the brakes are stlill good in the AM I'll finally be off to HON
later (time to wash this brake fluid smell away.
