Good info here, i have also heard that you can not get all the air trapped out of the master cylinders unless you "bench bleed" the unit PRIOR to installing them! Great.

I have resorted to removing my calipers and slave cylinders and hanging them as high as possible using steel wire until all the air can rise up.

This is a REAL pain...but I worry about jacking up the car so that all the weight is "angled" on just two tires (1 spindle / 1 axle) not to mention flexing my frame/windshield.

I guess I need to find a vacuum bleeder

...but we all hate soft brakes...
