[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 215885, member: 3959"] Hi Jess! Long time no hear from you. Hope all is well. Not sure that I have any 'tricks', but If you have a buddy to help it can make things easier. What I would do is fill the reservoir, pop the bleeder and let it gravity bleed. Do this a few times. Obviously dont let the res run dry. Sometimes this works, sometimes not. If not, fill the res, have a buddy crack the bleeder and slowly pull in the brake lever. Dont let it back out out until your buddy closes the bleeder. Try this a few times, then try building pressure and doing it the normal way. Sometimes things just dont want to pump up. I recently replaced the clutch slave cylinder in my Ford Ranger. I pumped that thing forever and it never built pressure. I eventually had to remove it from the truck and bleed it on the bench. Maybe one of the gurus here will chime in with a better way than what I've described above. Good luck, and good to hear from you again! [/QUOTE]
