Re: spongy hb..help
when i bleed my brakes i just open the bleeder and put my finger on it and pum away , the finger on the bleeder lets air and fluid out but wont let air back in ...
if you don't want to make a mess then you can just put a hose on the bleeder and pump away just put the other end of the hose in a can or some thing but keep it higher then the caliper so the hose fills up with fluid so no air gets in..
and make sure the line from your resivoir isn't kinked also
