This isnt jeep, but its all the same
I changed my front brake cable on my harley, and when I go to bleed the system, I can't get any pressure on the handle. Fluid flows freely from the bleeder valve, but when I close it, I can't build up pressure. I can't see any leaks.
Anyone experience this b4, or have a vacuum pump setup
This sucks because I leave for NC Fri night. Hope I don't have to work on it down there- I want to ride.

are you taing the fill cover off when bleeding?
Take the over off, open bleed valve, and let if gravity bleed.

The American Chopper version is more like.... "I know that Paul Jr. was really looking forward to riding this bike down to NC, so we are really trying to get the brakes fixed for him" ;D

I used to watch that show, you know, before they sold out hard core.
We know your making a lot of money and are cool, but whats with wearing sunglasses and a tank top in the middle of a cold winters night indoors. I would suggest to install dimmers and turn the heat down.

It was a huge bubble in the MC, so i had paramount vacuum flush it to be sure.
They do great work, and only charged me a half hour.

I havn't made the official announcement yet, but it feels great.
not that I like being jeep free, but I just love my truck to death.
When I get to SD, I'm def going to get something cheap (YJ, CJ, etc) and wheel it. I just can't have my wheeler be my daily driver anymore.
I'll post up a full wrieup when I get back from NC

Hey if the brake fluid leaked out of the master cylinder while you changed the brake line then you may have to bench blead the master cylinder before you try to blead the brake line. some times you have to take the mater cylinder off to change the angle of the master cylinder while you bench blead it so the air pocket will work it way to the top or bottom f the master cylinder to clear it. Keep the brake line submurged in brake fluid while you pump the bake handel. you may hae to attach it to a pice of pip to get leverage to pull the handel. I had this issue with an old honda i had in college many years ago.
