| Subject: | Re: bleeding brakes |
This thread had already received a lot of attention, but in case it wasn't mentioned,
I also use the bug-sprayer system to pump fluid up from the brake, but
I also hook up a tube to the top of the reservoir on the firewall with a Pitot-type
fitting and run that into an overflow tank. I then just let the fluid pump
through while I wiggle/tap/push the pedals to get air bubbles out. You can
see the air bubbles come out of the overflow tube and you can see when they
stop coming out. I can then put the overflowed fluid back into my bug sprayer
when I'm low. This seems to work extremely well. When I have finished both
sides, I usually take a paper towel and stick a corner down into the reservoir
to wick a little bit of the fluid out so it doesn't overflow and run down the
firewall.
