This weekend is Brake Bleeding Weekend! My setup is dual Wilwood master cylinders, as supplied with the Complete Kit, and Wilwood calipers and rotors, purchased from Factory Five. I'm using the single brake fluid reservoir supplied with the Complete Kit, and have it mounted just in front of the passenger footbox, on a bracket I fabbed up, mounted to the 3/4" tube the edge of the body rests on. Pretty standard stuff.

Couple of questions:

1) I purchased a power manual bleeder that connects to the top of the brake fluid reservoir. Do I need to bench bleed the Wilwood MCs, or does the pressure of the manual bleeder connected to the reservoir preclude the need for this?

2) I've read a few posts that it's good to put a dab of brake fluid on fittings before tightening them up. I didn't do that on any of them, and I'm confident my flares are good. Is it really worth it to back all the fittings off to add a dab of fluid?

3) Also read some folks fill the power manual bleeder with fluid, and some don't. For those that don't, they just make sure their reservoir(s) stay full of fluid. I like this approach, since it seems less messy. My question is if the reservoir holds enough fluid to even get one corner bled without having to refill it?

Thanks for the help, folks. Have a great weekend!
