I bench bled my new MC with plugs per the manufacturer's instructions, installed it in the Jeep and bled the brakes. Of course I had several leaks and at some point, the reservoir for the rear went empty.
I've read all the brake threads on and I'm sure I have air in the master cylinder. I'm sure it's not coming out now because the MC is not level. I really, really don't want to pull the MC back off to bench bleed it. I read about bleeding it in the Jeep, which sounds a lot better. I think I can get the MC level by taking the front tires off and lowering the front end (the back is already jacked up).
My question...
When the MC is level, why won't the air just be forced down the lines to the calipers to be bled out there? Why is it different than bleeding it back into the reservoir or into a container?
Thanks!
