RE: Pedal to the Metal, buttt.. its the brake pedal

On a mog, with new lines and hoses, you can gravity bleed the system. If I crack any bleeder, fluid streams steadily out, bubbles and all. As to air around the bleeder, wrap a small bit of teflon tape around the threads. If you have obstructed lines, or collapsed hoses, the vac pump will pull air from around the wheel cylinder cups. Pressure seals them, a strong vacuum will pull right past them if there's a problem in some other line. HTH, Seth
