Ford Repair: 93 ford tempo brake fluid, ford tempo, master cyl


Question
thank you for trying to help me. i asked you about brake fluid flow a couple weeks ago.i just want to clear up the fact that i was expecting the fluid to, with a little time, flow into the line just from gravity, with bleeder screw open. it did this on my 1st attempt at installing the new line. i haven't pressed my brake pedal since  i checked for leaks after that 1st installation. i have checked the bleeder screw and the rear end of this line(connection to flex hose)for debris. as you might know, the front connection of the line to master cyl. is on the bottom of the master cyl, so i can't see it. it seems to me that if the flare is good and the nut can be turned 5 or 6 turns by hand beforeneeding a wrench to tighten, then it's going in straight.can you tell me what you mean by''plunger operation''? before i emailed you the 1st time i talked to a nearby auto shop. the guy didn't want to tell me much, but he said something about ''air lock'', and i think he might have said that the front line connection may be too tight.can this really happen, since i am not that strong, and the hex on that nut is not in prime shape(mainly from the initial loosening) and i don't even have a flarenut wrench.anyway, any ideas you might have are appreciated.

Answer
Paul, I am not really sure what is happening, aside from being there to physically inspect and review.  I cannot be of help.  I would suggest that you find a good mechanic who is welling to help you.  You have done some good homework, and would need some basic direction to solve the problem.  Thanks!
