Subject: [Land-speed] Brake Question
Date: Mon, 9 Jul 2007 15:20:50 -0700 (PDT)
After fifty-plus years of playing with old cars, it would seem that I should
have more answers than questions, but here goes, another stupid question.
I decided that while the motor was out of my car (77 Pontiac Firebird),
I'd detail the engine compartment, and replace both of the old, bent-up
front brake lines. When I got ready to bleed the front brakes, I removed
the bleeding nipples to clean them up a bit, and noticed bubbles streaming
out of the caliper fitting. After a moment, the bubbles stopped and a solid
flow of fluid started leaking out. I screwed the nipples back in and
snugged them down. I checked the master cylinder, which had just been
filled, and the front bowl was about half empty. I topped it off, got into
the car to feel the pedal, and the brakes were fine. The system had "bled
itself" ? ? ?
I've done that with hydraulic front disc brakes on motorcycles before,
helping along by tapping on the brake line, but I've never had it happen
with a car.
Any comments?? DickJ In East Texas
