I'm power bleeding my new brakes.
What is pressure I should pump cannister up to. Is 20 psi to high?
Do I need to run engine as my brakes are power assisted.
Car is a 1993 944T.

    20 psi is fine. The factory bleeder works at 29 to 45 psi.

    You don't need to run the engine, although I sometimes give the pedal a pump or two (it just seems right).

      Bruce thanks for the quick response. Done with my refreshment got my answer. This BB is great, and now back to the garage to finish the job.
