[Shop-talk] Brake bleeding failure

[Steven Trovato]

OK, so I confess it was more than 10 psi.  The article John Blair 
posted said 15 to 20.  Most others said 15.  Believe me, if I ever 
get up the nerve to try this again, I won't be going over 10!  Don't 
know why you think there should be a problem getting air out of the 
system.  I replaced the rear brake hose, that's all.  Probably got 
all the air out of that just by doing one rear wheel.  Still, seemed 
like a good opportunity to flush and replace all the fluid.  This 
little "accident" did not introduce any air into the system.  It just 
pumped a whole lot of fluid into the master cylinder, through the 
gasket and onto the floor.  Not sure why you're saying you hate 
silicone brake fluid.  I'm not a big fan myself, but that was what 
was in this car when I bought it.
