Anthony Pap Posted December 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 So i just crack the bleeder valve and keep pumping the brakes till nothing comes out anymore? And when i go to fill it do i put the fluid in and leave the bleeder open and wait till fluid starts coming out the valve then i can begin the bleed process?

5150banshee Posted December 17, 2012 Report Share Posted December 17, 2012 Don't let the reservoir go dry keep it full and barley crack the bleeder, if u have a friend to help u would be better that way u can pump pump and hold the peddle down while he cracks it and closes it to reales air. You can always make a investment in a mighty vac brake bleeder best 40 bucks to spend here is a item # off eBay 190655379187.....

crazycracker520 Posted December 18, 2012 Report Share Posted December 18, 2012 Yea pull the hose off at the master and remove resi, drain & clean, reinstall. Fill it up w/ fresh fluid then bleed all the old fluid out,(making shure not to run resi dry). You should be able to tell when new fluid starts coming out, it will change colors.Hope this helps. crazycracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

locogato11283 Posted December 27, 2012 Report Share Posted December 27, 2012 I use a Mityvac and it works quite well. If you get down there and suck on that hose, be prepared for some nasty tasting shit when you get brake fluid in your mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
