Re: BLEEDING HELP PLEASE Time is $$$$$$$
Well......
You just put all the fittings into the valve. One is likely loose,
hence the leak and likely the air in the lines.
How did you do that and not know there was a rubber cap on the valve
pin?

PepBoys sells something that'll work. It's like a very small C-clamp with
read handle and a butterfly nut. It doesn't fit exactly, though. I think
it's supposed to be for bleeding anti-lock brakes, but a few minutes with a
file (or a few seconds with a die grinder :) will shape it out to work with
the valve.

Re: BLEEDING HELP PLEASE Time is $$$$$$$
That is another new type of valve. 4 types I know of now in CJ's.....
I do not know what that 'side' rubber is covering. I would recommend
you pull the rubber off and see if whatever is under it can be
tightened. If not, the valve is garbage.
Brake fluid leaks are very sneaky because it is clear and pressurized.
They sometimes drip from places that don't really leak....
