I don't know whether the air could go into solution in the brake fluid at higher pressure or not, but I have experienced similar effects in water (due to heat and/or pressure) in a previous employment testing and developing valves. But assuming that it could, then could it be that the air is then free to mix throughout the entire fluid in the system, rather than being trapped in little nooks and crannies, high spots etc.......? If so, on releasing the pressure, some of this dissolved air will now reappear in places where its easier to bleed out. ........??? Just a thought. Then again, although it is claimed to work, I've never really needed to use it much myself so I couldn't say. But it is a widely held claim. Personally, I might be inclined to remove the clutch slave cylinder from the cases and hold it higher than the master cyl, so the air can rise to the top more easily, then bleed it in that position. Careful with that lovely new paint though. |
