I bled my new Ram master with the Mighty-Vac on the slave line, anything else I should do?

Should I put the MightyVac on the reservoir line and reverse bleed it?

Do I need to bleed the NEW GM slave before installing it?

Should I bleed it all again after I install it?

 

put everything together and go to bleeding it. It takes like 14-16 times to get all the air out.

 

I bled one bottle through the hydraulics last night and it seems I still have a pressure problem do people normally bleed more then one bottle of fluid through it.

Hey Gilbert,

*How* are you bleeding?

My method... fill the reservoir, pump the pedal very quickly - allowing it to come all the way up each time - about 20 times - and on the last time, push and hold the pedal down as hard/far as it will go, open/close the bleeder valve quickly, and then use your hands to pull the pedal up slowly. Pulling up the pedal will draw fluid from the reservoir.

I bled my McLeod master this way, and it's still very firm after 40 miles of driving. It took about 3-4 'bleeding' sessions to where it felt right to me. I refilled the reservoir after every session - it would drop by about 1/4-1/3 of the reservoir height.

I pumped the pedal 6-7 times, (not really making sure it came up every time) I would just pump quickly, then I would hold the pedal down as hard as I could push while my bud opened the bleed valve for about 2 seconds he tightened the valve "tight" then I would pull the pedal up with my foot. I would fill the reservoir, pump it bleed, pump it bleed, pump it bleed and then fill again.
I am going to bleed it again and do some of the things you mentioned.

Thanks Gilbert
