Gotta be careful with that bleeder cap. That's why I like the steel one. It's easy once you've done it a few times and get the feel for it - the key is to make sure you seat the cap fully before turning. The threads on his reservoir are good.

So what I should have done is A. bleed all of the calipers a second time (since the reservoir emptied when we disconnected the first brake line) and B. turned the car on and checked brake pressure while the car was still in the air. It had been a long day and I was just tired; we knew we had time today to finish it up.

I can understand that mentality

It's fun when you're young and virile. It gets old real quick once you get old

Getting ready to go to the movies and dinner. Going to see "Call of the Wild". Wifey wants to see it.

Put the battery charger on the car. Just sitting around is not good for it.

Hitting the grocery for a month's worth of liquor and food before everyone else does. #coronavirus case @ the local hospital

Brake bleeding went well the second round. It was nice to be able to see the air bubbles. Test drive felt acceptable; the slightly off braking feel is likely attributed to brand new rotors and pads because the pedal pressure feels great

Nope. In fact, he pointed out that I still owe him a dinner
