i hate to beat a dead horse, but i am putting my calipers back on after a rebuild (and full drain of the brake system).  i have run about 1.5 bottles of motul through the system, but i am still on the first damn caliper (R RR).  i tried to close that one, and go through the proper bleeding sequence (to ensure that all the calipers at least had fluid running through them); however, when returning to the R RR, i still have bubbles.  sometimes it will be clear for a pump or two, but then there is a "train" of bubbles:frown:

also, i noticed every once in a while, when pushing the pedal down, there is a "squeak"-type noise coming from the front.... i'm guessing the master?  either way, i haven't pushed the pedal all the way down  (only till its right next to the gas pedal).  i've never had any problems with the master, should this be something to worry about?


any help with this?  how much fluid should i expect to go through?  if/when i do finally get the R RR caliper to stop bubbling, will i have the same crappy problem with the rest of them??? that's a LOT of fluid.


does tapping the calipers with a mallet really help?  if so..... is it effective enough for me to not have to bleed 1/2 a gallon of brake fluid through the system?  i really don't want to have to re-bleed the system after i put the car back on the ground (i'm so sick of having my car up!)


i duno, it just seems like when i bleed stuff it takes WAY more fluid than anybody else..... just for the record - i thoroughly hate bleeding hydraulics.  :mad:
