HELP! problems after DIY brake fluid flush
first time doing brake fluid flush, after everythings done
put the car in parking, everytime i push the brake pedal fast, i hear Air Leaking Sound from the brake.(but the brake works fine)
more info:
is it possible because the air suck into the system during the process that lead to this problem?( (during the process ,the hose fall off while braking, and then i plug in and have friend apply the brake few more times but do not see bubble)
i did not put that 4 screw caps back into the Bleeder Valve because they are all broken.
Any thoughs on this air leaking sound?? Thanks!!!

If this process wasn't followed, you more than likely have air in the lines. This bleeding should take place from the driver's side rear caliper.
1) Top off with fresh brake fluid in the master
2) Attach a clear tube onto the bleeder screw
3) Loosen bleeder
4) Push brake pedal firmly to the floor, but not slow...nor super quick.
5) While holding the brake pedal is to the floor, tighten the bleeder.
6) Release brake pedal
7) Check brake fluid level in master
Repeat these steps until you see no bubbels in the clear tubing. If you ever run the master low/out of fluid, you'll need to continue this process for quite a bit longer!
