Quick question, while I’m bleeding the brakes using power bleed should I keep the brake pedal down ? Or it doesn’t matter?

Doesn't really matter as the 13-15 lbs in the container is doing the work. It is designed however to work with you by yourself, outside the car. Nobody inside the car either.

Something we have run into a couple times (if new master wasn't bench bled) was working the pedal a few times seeming to help. And yeah at least 13 or so lbs of pressure.

Just tried power bleeding it was not effective....but when I tried the old method ( pumping with brake pedal and hold) I could remove all the air....by the way I needed to bleed the brakes because I renew from wheel cylinders.

I have never had a prob power bleeding if doing soft hoses and wheel cylinders. Only if master was swapped and I guess that I am going to listen to my tech since he prefers bench bleeding the master.
