Can you over fill brake fluid?
I just put a new brake line on. Its been working OK but getting harder. Now I can't pull the lever in. I know I filled the thing up. Can you put too much in?

I love and hate working on my own stuff. I think I got it. I lined it all back up (Cold, at night). It worked a little, then rode 1.5 hours to class (the next day). She sat in the sun all day (Warmed up), when I went to leave class I had a substantial amount more break control. I am going to judge = improper brake bleeding. I have to work at it more.

Yes you can over fill brake fluid? I know a guy who filled his master cylinder for his rear brake. (Located next the exhaust) before a road trip. About 40 miles into the ride, the heat caused the brake fluid to expand and his rear wheel to lock up on the freeway! He was very lucky he did not go down!!! Yes you can over fill brake fluid.
