| i am working with a 90 Cabriolet. first i replaced the master cylinder, now, i am trying to bleed the brakes using a Mityvac handpump. here is the problem. i am doing exactly what it says and, nothing! i pumped one bleeder valve for an hour, NOTHING!! i moved an entire 32 oz bottle of fluid through the lines, but still almost all air coming out the valves. what am i missing here? ](*,) |

EXACTLY!
Now go get a real pressure bleeder off of the web, and bleed your brakes the right way.
Presure bleeders can make bleeding your brakes super easy, and remember always bleed longest to shortest line. RR, LR, RF, LF.

| Did you bench bleed the master cylinder for install? That can cause you the headache, also. |
