Questions on changing brake fluid using Earl's solo bleeder
I'm at 30K miles on my IS350 and attempted to change the brake fluid with Earl's solo bleeder.
I've only worked on the RR. When I opened the bleeder valve and tried to pump the brakes it was super stiff. Brake fluid was coming out of the bleeder valve but at the same time it took a lot of work stepping down on the brake pedal.
Is this normal?
How far does the brake pedal go down (I'm afraid I might damage something if I keep going down with so much pressure....)?
What is the torque specification on the bleeder valve?
