Brake Bleeding

If your cap seals well to the reservoir, and your valve stem doesn't 
leak, you should be able to apply air pressure.  Don't exceed about 15 
psi.  If you have an air leak, it should be at your cap and you should 
be able to hear it.

I have some very rusty UFO rotors I replaced shortly after I got my 
first V8 because I hadn't learned about the Italian tuneup to get rid of 
brake vibrations.  The rotors are about 23mm thick.  I still have two 
cars with UFOs, but I also have two new sets of rotors in a box, so I 
could part with the rusty ones easily.
