Re: Subject: brake bleeding



Am I doing something wrong, here?  I hooked it all up after cleaning +
loosening the bleed screw with a socket wrench, then pumped it down quite a
bit, then unscrewed the bleeder screw some more.  Fluid out the threads,
nothing from the center.  Vacuum gauge held steady.  This was on the
front(UFO) caliper.

Clogged bleed screw?  I don't really want to remove the screw, because then
I'll have tons of air in the caliper...however, I may not have a choice...

PS:The only brake fluid I could find was stuff from "Albany"(AutoZone, the
nearest, practically _only_ auto store around, has gone straight downhill;
they don't carry any major brands except in big things like motor oil.)
Please advise(yes, I know everyone likes the ATE stuff, and the Castroil.)
