Bleeding brakes

Hey guys
I 'm bleeding my brakes and using the mity vac. I'm getting some small air bubbles (tiny ones) is that okay? Or dose no air bubbles mean no air bubbles at all?
I know that sound's stupid but please help.

Once i get done i will post some pics of my new 21 inch wheel.
THANKS

RE: Bleeding brakes

When I've bled my EG brakes "no bubbles" means "no bubbles" not even "tiny" ones. But I've never used a Mighty Vac, so YEMV.

RE: Bleeding brakes

I use a mityvac to bleed my brakes and it works really well, but I end up going thru a whole bottle of brake fluid by the time I am done. Eventually the bubbles stop. Just don't suck the reservoir dry or you start all over again.

RE: Bleeding brakes

You want no air in the system, no air bubbles, even small ones.
