wheeled the stella into the basement of my building (my new winter garage) and /attempted/ to bleed the disc brake to no avail.
brakes were spongy then later a total loss of pressure at the lever. the bleed valve was frozen but eventually let loose oozing out a bit of fluid over the disc itself, but when i put the hose for my vacuum-gun. any fluid that went from the valve through the hose was probably a result of the initial runoff.
pumping didnt work, the old fashion way of slowly closing the valve, pumping at the lever to pressurized, and opening up - but nothings working. i was at it for about an hour and didn't manage to get an even a half an ounce of fluid out total.
i considered removing the brake line from the caliper but it too was frozen and i didn't try and force it. also, the bleed valve's stripping (not the thread) due to it being stuck.
thoughts/experience? cracked brake line, shot MC?
