Earlier I had posted that after installing my Z-Pads on the front of the BD that I had lost my brake pressure. I wanted to repost to let people know that it is now OK and what I did to fix it.
Here is what I did. I went out and got clear plastic hose and brake fluid. I connected the hose to the bleeder and starting sucking on the hose and then opened the bleeder. I did this until all air was out and fluid ran clear.
Went up to the lever and how about that brake pressure is back! I was surprised that there was air bubbles and the fluid started out clean then very dirty. So I guess its a good idea to flush the lines out once in a while.
So the bottom line is all is good now. And no, I didn't get a mouthful of fluid. . And yes it was cheap on my part.
