I purchased the Phoenix Injector V12 because I was not having fun trying to bleed my brakes. I used it as a vacuum bleeder at the caliper and found that fluid was not coming out freely and quickly. What methods have any of you guys used with great success?

Are there any guesses as to why my fluid is not flowing freely from the caliper bleeder valve? I alreadybench bled the master cylinder because I thought this may be the cause, but this did not help. I am not leaking fluid anywhere that I can see. Could my brake hose be full of dirt?

I was thinking of trying RFI bleeding because this seems the most effective, but according to the video I need to make the master cylinder as level as possible, meaning that I would have to go buy an addition set of jack stands to raise the entire car up.

Myabe you have a bad hose or debris in the line.

I must have had debris in my line I was out moving it, I pumped the brake pedal and heard a clink. I look under my car and brake fluid everywhere.

The brake line ruptured.

For future reference when pressing a caliper back into it's bore would it be better to crack the bleeder valve so fluid can't go back into the brake line?

i use mine i nthe reverse or pressure bleed fashion and have had great results with it

Thanks for the reply Ede. I want to try using it again on the car after I replace those brake lines and see what it can really do.

Still bummed that my brake line popped. How long does it usually take to replace these lines? Is the main issue just routing the lines? Are there any special tools involved? thanks.

You popped a actual hard line? Not the hose
