thanks for all the great info! I just rebuilt my frt brake master because it was leaking out the plunger and in the process managed to pump a bunch of air in the line. I just took the cap off the master, topped it off, slowly squeezed the lever and occasionally tapped on the line and caliper until the bubbles stopped coming up in the master. Topped it off and capped it and it works great!
