I just installed a master brake cylinder in an Acura Vigor.
Instead of bench bleeding in a vise and having to push the piston manually, I installed it leaving the brake lines off, having my wife pump the pedal while I used the enclosed plastic hoses to recycle the brake fluid back into the master cylinder. I immersed the ends in the brake fluid and noticed an awful lot of small bubbles coming through the hoses, the bubbles never stopped. I thought the bubbles may have been a result of the circulation of the pumping of the fluid back in to the cylinder.
Yes?
If not, why so many bubbles? They didn't seem to cease. I was just going to attach the lines and bleed through the bleeder screws through a hose into a clear plastic container.
