What is the best way to bleed the full brake system when it has been drained ?
trying to get pressure in the Zooks brakes and after 15 minutes of pushing the pedal i got sick of it.
Should i do it with the motor running or can it be done while its off.
Thanks in advance for any Info, I appreciate it.

I have always started fron the brake/caliper furthest from the resivour/booster and worked to the closest and done them with the car switched off
well thats what I do anyways

start at the master cyl, then work from there. if you have air in there you wont get anywhere.

Just go buy a decent vacuum brake bleeder, just fill the master and suck it through, easy as one man job

Trade tools is importing them now hand held vacum brake bleeder just under $45. The best $45 I've spent for a long time. 10minutes and the hole system bleed properly....
