Ya, by the time I realized the pressure was dropping it was pouring into that well and it was a frick'n mess; Not to mention how caustic that crap is. If a hose or seal fails it could spray that stuff all over the place.

Nothing against Mike here, I respect his knowledge, but this did happen to me, so I felt it was proper to share here. I would hate not to say something and have someone wreck a paint job.

sorry to see that. Maybe I have just been fortunate to this point, but I've done it this way at least 30 times between mine and customer cars. I guess stick to 15 is probably safest. I only go to 30 so I can get 2 calipers done per pump up.

I hear ya Mike, mine might have been 1/50 or 1/100 who knows, but I just wanted to make sure everyone was a where to save them the mess and possibly some paint.

Like I said, I respect your knowledge and have used it many times from reading here, I knew you were not thinking this could happen or you would have commented on it.

Sall good buddy.

It's not recommended since the master is very fragile.
