I've had this problem recently. I was getting the very fine bubbles with my vacuum bleeder. I removed the bleeders from the caliper, and put red wheel bearing grease on the threads of the bleeders liberally. I did this at each corner, and had a perfect pedal in 45 minutes. The ultra fine bubbles were coming from the bleeder screws threads. I went and purchased a new vacuum bleeder during the process, thinking I had an issue with the bleeder. Just about drove me crazy...

Thanks I am seeing that in the rear calibers but the fronts have no air at all. The calibers move each time we pump the brakes but just no bit and the pedal is sift

Which Phoenix bleeder did you pick up and what method worked for you? Thanks

This one. I just push fluid from the calipers back to the master.

Don was this the vender you bought it from, $134 is a lot cheaper than Jegs at $184.

Just ordered it from Jegs they matched the price. We will see

Well I reverse bled my rear brakes with my new phoenix brake bleeding system, no air bubbles after a few pumps and the pedal is soft like when I start to back up, 1/2 mph the pedal goes to the floor and is very soft and the car keeps rolling. I give up will need someone to fix it. I have never had a problem in my other builds.:waveflag:

Did you stop after a few pumps? You need to push fluid all the way through the system and a couple of pumps won't do that. I try to push a half pint or more from each caliper.

Don I pushed a lot of fluid through until there were no more bubbles. I did take a pause after 3-4 pumps since the reservoir would fill up. This is not rocket science nor my first build but it is kicking my ass. There must be air in the master that I am unable to flush. The fronts we bled the old fashion way and the air went out quickly. The front end was slightly higher but I caught that before we bled the rears so the reservoir is level, the rear is higher than the front. Thanks I will call Wilwood again.

I will try bleeding the MC one more time but not with their plastic fittings but with std brake lines and have them go back into the reservoir
