Harbor freight pneumatic brake bleeder

[Dusterdude]

Trying to bleed the right front/rear brakes.bought the hf bleeder kit and am not having any luck moving fluid thru/to either caliper.I'm leaning towards the master cylinder being plugged,but before I remove the master.is there any way that I might be using the bleeder kit incorrectly?thanks

Fit the hose end adaptor over the bleeder nipple, pump it to get high vacuum then loosen bleeder nipple. Fluid in the master goes down fast so keep an eye on it. Works great that way for me.

Ok,that's what I did.got a feeling the master is plugged.

Just make sure that it is not the bleed nipple that is plugged. You can completely remove it to clean it out properly. I always make sure that fluid is coming out the end and not just around the threads. :yes:

I believe I'm making headway,the front pistons are out against the pads but I'm having trouble on the rear.I'm pumping a lot of fluid thru the reservoir but can't get the rear to pump up.I'm gonna take another whack at it tomorrow.
