Random one I put a second hand calipar on and was bleeding with the gun but was pulling air for days like 300ml of fluid went through as well only done the one break should I do all and go back hoping air is gone breaks work just soft

@@theflump8181 to be fair mate I’d give it a go bleeding that one caliper the old way with someone at the pedal whilst you open and close the bleed nipple because I’ve known the vacuum bleeders to pull excess air in around the bleed nipple and give the impression that it’s constant air coming through, it’s happened to me plenty of times and when I’ve gone back and used the traditional method it’s cured it almost every time within minutes, it’s why it’s super important to play around with the set up of the vacuum bleeder with all the little adaptotes and pipes that come with it so that you get a perfect air tight seal, hope this helps bud 👍
