      Pedal goes to floor

      Wilwood setup with 1 1/16" MC tandem plastic/reservoir bore. Used a Motive Products power bleeder with 15psi to pressure bleed my brakes...twice. I established that I had no leaks, bled both sets of screws on each caliper per instructions and the pedal still slowly goes to the floor. I'm assuming I have more air to bleed out?

      Usual stuff. 6 piston front, 4 rear. The aforementioned reservoir. Bleeding them now with 15psi added to the front reservoir with fluid pumped from the power bleeder. The rears look good so I'm only doing the fronts. Getting air every now and then. Got 2 bleeder screws per caliper. Just gotta be patient I guess.

      Here's a question. Since I've said that the rear wheels and the passenger side front wheel are bled, I'm getting a ton of air coming out of the driver side front. Is it possible to bleed the entire system from one caliper and get all of the air out of the other 3 calipers? If there was any trapped? I don't have a lift, it's 96 degrees even with my shop fans, and I'm too tired to go back and mess with the other 3.

      Nope-air bubbles go to the highest spot in the caliper and stay there.

      I've had bad brand new MC. When I put a line lock on my Camaro project it took forever to get the air that was trapped in it out.

      Yeah I figured that. Just gotta keep bleeding I guess.
