Some nice write ups. Thank you.

Removing the MC from the Booster to get it level is a great idea if you have a pressure bleeder. That Phoenix brake bleeder kit sounds like the hot ticket but hard to justify almost $200 for a plastic hand pump and bunch of hose/fitting.

I'm usually working alone in the garage too. I would prefer a pressure bleeder but the vacuum bleeding works OK. I'm wondering if I can put some grease on the bleeder screws to stop the micro bubbles that I get.

I'm always amazed at the amount of air that comes out of a MC when bench bleeding. I really need to tear one apart and a booster too to see the inner workings. No better way to learn then that IMO.

When I was getting new mufflers on I was asking one of the mechanics a bunch of brake questions. He told me the last car he had in had a spongy peddle that wouldn't go away. They have a 4 post lift and had the car on its nose to level out the Master cylinder before they got a couple of big bubbles out. They had an expensive bleeder system.
