I purged my brake system because I had to add some dot-3 in an emergency, now I can't get them bled. I have run about 2 qts through, I'm using a vacuum pump at each caliper (not at the same time), I'm getting no air bubbles but the handle remains soft (nothing). Is there a way to bleed the master cylinder?, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hey bucksnot
my dealer told me to jack up the front end (about 45deg.) put the parking brake on and let it sit overnight or longer. they are supposed to be self bleeding. i tried this and it did work to some extent.i have a 02 400 4x4 and the brake lever is soft.
try that and see if it helps ?
