Bleeding brakes

Master cylinder angle, hadn't thought of that. I'll give it a try. What about the back? It sits vertical and I've got the same problem there.

Re Brakes

After rebuilding the master cylinder on my 450, it would not bleed no matter how many times I pumped and opened and closed the bleeder. Went down the street to my mechanic buddy, we used his vacum cannister to draw the fluid down through the lines. Seemed to be the only way to be sure the air was out. Took about 2 or 3 pumps on a pretty large vacum tool. Once that was worked out, the front calipers wouldn't release the wheel. So then I had to re-build the calipers and they were pretty gunked up inside. Then went back to mechanic buddy to vacum bleed again. Now the brakes work like new.
