we completely dried out the brake system, no fluid anywhere, we now have everything back together and are trying to bleed the brakes, since the whole things dry will it take some time?

I think completely draining your brake system is a bad thing.



I can't remember why though. Just don't push the brake pedal down until you put some fluid in it. I think it fucks the master cylinder up. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif

we didnt do it on purpose....when we removed the calipers it just sort of happened, cause it all flowed out....it might not have been 100% dry but close to it, the MC resovoir had no fluid in it

doubt the 100 percent was reached unless you ran it under pressure..

definitely more time now as the volume of air required to be extracted is greater...

dont leave it dry for an extended time frame..

you should've took a peice of stick and wedged the brake pedal down like a 3rd. That will close some of the chambers of the master and fluid won't seep into the lines to th caliper and u won't lose that much fluid
