[Shop-talk] Brake Bleeding: Another Twist

[Steven Trovato]

I have seen these from other manufacturers as well.  One concern I 
have is that because brake fluid is not circulating like oil or 
coolant, are you really getting a valid answer by testing at the 
master cylinder?  I would think that if the fluid was topped up, then 
the sample in the reservoir would be better than the rest.
