Reply to "Brake fluid?"

Thanks for all the tips. I know my Mighty Vac is good because I can put my finger on the end of the same hose that I use on the bleeder screw and it holds pressure very good (needle does not move at all). Not sure why I would need to bleed the master though. In looking at Google images of diagrams of the internals of a master, it seems that if I am able to pull fluid through each of the bleeder screws, then that would mean that fluid is running from the resivour down through the master and through the bleed screws. But maybe that simple logic isn't reality of how it works. Maybe I am opening the screws too much and letting some air in during the process. As mentioned above I also saw on line where some say to use the Teflon tape or placement of some grease around the bleeder screw when bleeding. Anyway will give bleeding another try in the wheel order mentioned and see what happens with some grease on the bleeder screws too during the process. Could try the two person method too, but some mentioned that method makes the seals in the master push into areas of the master where the master walls may not be real smooth, and then potentially damage the seals. First, to cover my cars again with the wife's good linen just in case some fluid flips from the hose to car paint...ouch.
