Hey Tools!! Help!! Lol! So I went to Harbor Freight this morning and bought the little high pressure oiler ShinyRibs linked in one of the other posts. Sucked most of the fluid out of the reservoir leaving just enough to be about 2mm or 3 mm above the holes. Hooked up to the left hand caliper (furthest first) and started to pump away slow and steady. Saw some fluid movement at first, but then, it just started to build so much pressure the hose wouldn't stay on my pump. Thought, maybe it's full now, let's do the right side. Pretty much the same thing. Small amount of fluid movement. Then plenty of pressure. When pumping I loosened the bleeders one half to one full turn. When I was done it filled the reservoir to about 2/3. That took most of the 9 oz bleeder. Probably 7 or 8 oz. What am I doing wrong? Or have I just not done it enough yet? Also, lever still has the same two to three limp pulls.
