There are a few issues with vacuum bleeding. First is sucking air around the bleeder valve threads. The solution is to use teflon tape or thread sealer on the threads. | There are a few issues with vacuum bleeding. First is sucking air around the bleeder valve threads.

| + | I didn't have much luck with either teflon tape, or sealer, seems that movement of the bleeder valve disrupts the seal. I used silicone greese that would move with the valve, due to the use of Dot 5 brake fluid. Maybe lithium would work with Dot 3 fluid. With the 3/8" vacumm hose I was using, I had to carefully regulate the vacumm source to keep from over running the 3/16" brake line, and causing more air in the suction line. | ||
