bleeding brakes

Also.....I have been using teflon tape on the threads of the valve, not for sealing but
to be able to remove or loosen the bleed screw without breaking or stripping. Haven't seen any ill effects yet.
Does the break pedal need to moved at any point to remove any air from that potion of the mechanism?

When I rebuilt my system, I used all new parts. To get the MC bled, I used a vac setup, but it helped having someone push on the pedal in the beginning. There was so much air, it was hard to get it started without someone pushing. Once the MC and lines to the prop valve were full of fluid, then it went smoothly. I just kept filling and pumping, and pretty soon it was done. I only had to bleed it once, and it stops good enough to lock up all four.
