In my opinion, the best way for bleeding the mc's is putting your finger in the exit of the mc when pusher of the mc is going backward. When you do this, the mc takes the fluid from the reservoir when is going all the way back. I do it that way and it bleeds pretty quick! (Sorry for my english again)
I did experiment with this on the second one and I did get a few more bubbles. You are right. When you close the outlet port it pulls more fluid from the inlet side. Good tip.
Thanks for documenting this one. I was never sure exactly what they were talking about when they say "Bench Bleed the Brakes". So, how do you then get everything back in the car without introducing air? Is that you still need to bleed them, it is just now there won't be so much air in the lines? And/or easier to get the air out?
Let's hope everything bleeds ok. My thought is to add brake fluid to the new reservoir lines and let it sit overnight. Most of the air should migrate up through the reservoir Then when it's time to purge the lines and calipers the master cylinders are already primed. This means that they aren't just pumping air. I'll know more in a week or two! I'm actually waiting on rear brake pads that were back ordered.
I am from Goa, India and am keenly watching your vdos since beginning... enjoyed each and every episode... you are a genius... and a down to earth person... you don't shy away from accepting your small mistakes... i always wonder... if you were in Bruno Saccos team while he was working on the legendary W124, then would it have been a much better car than it is... :) keep up the good work dear... Good wishes from India... God Bless The World... Namaste...
Thank you for informative video soon need to the same. It was hard to see, but did you made a single flare for these short lines? Would it that be the problem with bleeding? isn't suppose to be DIN flare?
Thank you for watching! All this fittings are 37 deg AN flare. My car uses mostly AN except for the flex lines and calipers. I let that rig sit overnight and there were no leaks at the fittings.
Enjoy all your videos. Look forward to that first drive.
Thanks so much 👍. I'm so ready to drive this thing no matter how crude.

Thank you so much! Mistakes are part of the process.
If it's a really big mistake, then I walk away and come back to it the next day.
You're definitely on a roll... keep it up!
Thanks, will do!

@@GarageTimeAutoResto Interesting. Is it stock in 911.
No AN flares are not stock in a 911. My master cylinders are typical in NASCAR.
Most aftermarket stuff uses AN because it's better.
There's a cricket in my house... ::mutes video:: oh nevermind.
Ha ha, good microphone huh?
You know it's late when I'm hanging out in the garage with crickets.
