How do you use a pressurized brake bleeder?
To relieve pressure, just
slowly remove the pump cap. Then fill the pressure bleeder with up to 2 quarts of brake fluid and pressurize it to approximately 15psi, be sure not to exceed 20 psi
. Higher pressures may damage your hydraulic system. As the pressure increases, it's normal to see some air pockets in the tube.

With so much vacuum pressure flowing through the system, this can even cause brake fluid to end up inside the booster, as can damage to the seals in the master cylinder
.
Can a vacuum leak cause brake problems?
Insufficient amounts can result from a restricted source and sometimes engine running problems. For instance a plugged catalytic converter can lower engine vacuum and result in poor brake booster performance.
A bad vacuum leak in the intake may also cause a lower vacuum

Why are my brakes still spongy after bleeding?
If air gets into the brake lines, it can prevent brake fluid from flowing properly, causing the brake pedal to feel spongy or soft
. If the brakes are soft or spongy, this is a good time to change or flush the brake fluid. Flushing the brake fluid, commonly called bleeding the brakes, gets rid of the air.
How do you bleed a brake caliper with two bleeders?

bleed the inboard section first and then the outboard section
