2022-03-06 Brake Bleed <ACK!>

No big deal, right? Just flush brake fluid with new. 

Front, no big deal.

Rear fluid looked really dark, as if it had been overheated or something.

Rear, well, I screwed up. Removed the cap, and a plastic circular piece remained behind. Removed.

Connect hose and catch tank to slave cylinder then pump and bleed baby. 

Hmm, better add a little fluid to reservoir.

So I did.

Then bled but whaaaaat? Brake pedal no longer firm, total sponge.  ACK!

Look at reservoir, and DUH, a black rubber space still installed, and expanded out like a cone. Remove it, and of course, the fluid is non-existent. I had filled the 'cone' and not the 'tank' of the reservoir.

Long of short, It took forever to get the system bled. 

1. Tried using MightyVac - no luck
2. Tried to remove slave cylinder to raise it up for air bubbles to float but it won't remove from swing arm.. it's captive
3. Bled the MC by breaking the fitting and bleeding e.g. pedal down, open banjo, close banjo, pedal up
4. Did same thing to rear brake hose at slave cylinder. Raised hose up and bled unil no more bubbles
5. Backfilled slave cylinder
6. Reconnect everything and after 5 or so minute FINALLY bubbles come up the bleed hose.

Live and Learn I guess. 10 minute job = 3 hours.
