Author Message   Spacemonkey Posted on Monday, January 24, 2011 - 07:55 pm:        i screwed something up. started bleeding the front brake and i think i got a bunch of air in the line or something. there's no pressure when i pull the brake lever and no more fluid will come out (yes, there's fluid in the reservoir. any help would be greatly appreciated.   Spacemonkey Posted on Monday, January 24, 2011 - 08:08 pm:        i also can't spell "brakes"   Terrys1980 Posted on Monday, January 24, 2011 - 08:46 pm:        There really isn't much to screw up when it comes to bleeding the brakes. Do you have the diaphragm and rubber gasket installed? Do you have the service manual?   Reepicheep Posted on Monday, January 24, 2011 - 10:03 pm:        Make sure you are releasing the lever completely with each pump, it won't draw in fluid unless it is all the way released. Also try "sucking" from the bleeder valve... a syringe (turkey seasoning kits have big ones) or brake bleeder pump ($15 at harbor freight) will also do it.   Spacemonkey Posted on Monday, January 24, 2011 - 10:22 pm:        i figured it out...thanks. now i have a completely different problem
