Hey guys,and Girls
What is the easest way to bleed my brake lines?
I bought the new master cyl. but I can't put it on untill this weekend.
I just added brake fluid to the old one for now. I let it get to low though and now I have air in my front brakes. I have to pump the brakes to stop!!!
:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Is there a way to do it with out taking the front wheels off and bleeding the though the calipers?
thanks

You will have to bleed the master cyc first
Install it
Then bleed the brakes starting at the Right rear to left rear... Right front then left front

Russel makes an autobleeder that has a one way check ball. They are a good investment. You put the autobleeder in place of the stock bleeder. Get a small length of fishtank airline and run the hose into a spare clean bottle (preferably a clear one so you can see when you get the fresh fluid all the way thru the lines). In the older cars it's a good idea to bleed em completely out, you'll notice a color diff in the fluid. Bottom line, they allow you to QUICKLY bleed the system by yourself without removing the wheels and eliminates the mess to clean after.

You can also do a gravity bleed (http://www.google.com/search?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=&q=gravity+bleed+brakes&btnG=Google+Search).

I bought a Mighty Vac to bleed mine with. Makes it a one person job. You will have to first bench bleed your MC.
