After about 10 months of being unsure about my brakes being where they should be, I’ve decided to take on the task of bleeding the MC. I keep hearing so much about “Bench bleeding” it. I get how it’s done, what I want to know is, can’t I do the same bleeding process with it still on the car? Undoing the brake lines, hooking up the plastic adapters, tubes, and then pump the brake pedal? Without pulling it off and using the vise to do all of that? Seems the same to me, but maybe I’m missing something.
Note: After replacing the brake lines last month, the brakes seemed fine, got in the other day and the pedal was real spongy again. I’ve bled these brakes prob 20-30 times, including several ABS bleeds with Scan tool. Still seeing micro bubbles coming out right front outer bleeder screw. Also replaced all 8 bleeder screws yesterday with Speed bleeders. So today I’m gonna hit the MC, but would rather leave it on if possible.
