I just met my future. As we all know I drive one Reatta or another everyday of the year. This morning my wife and I were running errands and stopped at a grocery store for a couple last items. I stayed in the car and had parked by a highly optioned 1992/1993 Buick Riviera. It had the rivited wheels and a fake convertible top on it. Black over bronze with a tan leather interior. Really a very clean car. Anyhow this old guy comes shuffling out from the store and as soon as I saw him I knew he was the owner, and I was right. He gets in the car after letting the door "ding" the car next to him, putzs around doing who knows what and then leaves. Because I have so many Reattas I am sure 20 years from now I'll still have one...

The incompressibility of fluid is why many pressure vessels are hydro tested. 1000psi of fluid pressure and if the enclosure ruptures, the pressure drops immediately as it leaks out. 1000psi of air pressure and it's a bomb, so if there is a significant amount of air in a brake line is can spit and sputter until gone.

Ronnie.....thanks for the correct bleed information......I did not know that. I will do that next time, but I did get a pure flow of clean fluid with no air/bubbles. We had the key on and allowed the pump to run during the bleeding.....I see some say to do it this way, and others say to leave the key off for the front brakes. (Definitely want the key on for the rear brakes, and I found it works fantastic with that pump doing the pushing when bleeding the rear brakes).
