Hey list, I saw this touched on in the 6-pack archives, but didn't see any responses. I've replaced the flex hoses in my brake system. I had the rear brakes open while I replaced my trailing arm bush

My suggestion would be to bleed the old fashioned way. The suction the Mityvac can develop is limited by the air it sucks past the threads of the bleed screws, and may not be enough to pull fluid out

I had a very similar problem when bleeding the brakes on my 74 TR6, and felt very stupid when I realised the solution. There are two pipes coming from the brake m/c - one to the front and one to the

First, junk the mytivac and pressure-bleed from the other end. I use a Gunson E Z Bleed, but you could take the time to cook your own and save buck or two. Have you tried to bleed them the old-fashio

From suhring <suhring at lancnews.infi.net> Power bleed them from the master, not by trying to suck on the wheel cylinders with a Miti-Vac. Home-brew stuff is cheaper, but the no-hassle way is Gunson

I just received a Mityvac brake bleeding kit. The instructions say to follow the cars owners manual as to which order to bleed the brakes. Bentleys says start with the wheel furthest from the master.

The MityVac instructions must be wrong because everything I've read on the subject says to start at the wheel cylinder farthest from the master cylinder. Do you just need the heater hose clamps? If

Hi Cliff Those clips are bad news for hoses, they cut in rather than pinching down! Graham.

I saw a nifty brake bleed nipple in the Griots Garage catalog. Has a built in check valve so all you do is attach a hose, open the valve, pump the pedal until you have no bubbles and clean fluid, ti

I've tried a couple of types. The first was an EZ-BLEED (I think), which is basically just some tubing w/ a special end on it that only lets fluid and air flow in one direction. That way you can att

I think what you are describing here is the Vizibleed that moss sells for around $13. This seems to be the simplest of them all. This one seems to be somewhat of an over kill. Since I believe in the

I have to agree with David. Although it is the "old fashioned way", it is probably the best and least expensive way to do your brakes. Larry Zink 1964 Spitfire4 Mk1 Houston, Texas --Original Message-

Try this procedure for 2-man bleeding. 1. Pump until there is as much pedal resistance as possible and hold. 2. Open the bleeder valve until the pedal bottoms out and close. 3. Repeat the process un
