Ok. So, I managed to violate rule A-1 of brake bleeding. Was finishing up on the right side & got so mesmerized at how well my Mit-E-Vac was doing that I kind of forgot to pay attention to the reservoir. Before long I was greeted with the sickening sound of air getting sucked into the #%&$;@!!! line.
I ran about 6-8 more oz of fluid thru, til I didn't see any more bubbles coming out. Then I went back & did the same on the left side. Then I completely refilled the reservoir & gently pumped the lever til it firmed up. After that I loosely covered the reservoir and put a clamp on the lever to hold it open - in hopes that any remaining air would bubble up.
I did NOT turn on the ignition at any point in this process, which I'm hoping is of some benefit.
So - although deserving your ridicule, I beg your advice... how F'd am I, and what else should I do?
Many thanks,
Andrew
