Yes. It means you are getting the air out.
I can tell when I get the air out, it's when the people in the room clear out while holding their nose.

Still working on this. I tried the standard pumping method and lost the lever entirely went back to reverse bleeding with a syringe. It feels like it's definitely improved, but it's still far from stiff. How many times should I reverse bleed and sop? The answer is probably, "until it feels stiff" but do you guys know how much fluid you typically have to pump through? I've gone through about half a bottle now in reverse bleeding and I'm just now getting to the point where a "normal" pull doesn't fully rest on the bars (though it's close).
I have the lever zip tied again for while I'm at work today, but just wondering if there may be another problem somewhere else that I'm missing before I go wasting another bottle of fluid through the line.
Thanks!
It is still fun to make them pile out of an elevator!I can tell when I get the air out, it's when the people in the room clear out while holding their nose.
Something was physically wrong with the original master cylinders and they could not be rebuilt.
I was not able to get more than a vague spongy feeling. After the second complete rebuild of the master cylinder, I resorted to trying a 'known good' MC. -BIG DAN
Were you able to get a lever at all with these masters?
Elevator bomb. Lay one in the empty, get off on floor, run to first floor, wait for elevator to see the faces.It is still fun to make them pile out of an elevator!
That is normal operation, the fluid passages are linked....Something interesting (if totally unrelated) is that it seems only the bottom piston is raising when I pump up the brakes without anything there (see picture).

If I hold that bottom piston in place, the top one will happily raise instead...

WAIT... Have you had the rotor between the pads while bleeding the brakes? -BIG DAN
