Bernie,

Not certain if you will get this, but I did get the "Phoenix V-5 Injector Reverse Bleeding Tool". In attempting to push fluid in through the bleed nipple, however, I simply can't get any fluid forced in before the bleed tool is leaking from the syringe, connector, etc. It is very hard, meaning I don't think the system is allowing anything in.

I wonder if there is a trick here, maybe pushing through the slave, through the master, up to reservoir is just requiring more pressure than this cheaper "V-5" version can muster?

I did then do some traditional flushing of the fluid, and it was very dirty. Maybe it was dirty enough it was not able to flow backward? I could try again now that I have clearer fluid in the system?

Any insights appreciated. Thanks for all the help over the years to everyone on this board.
