If these rests are not adjusted so that the shoes are contacting the drums straight on it is impossible to get a hard pedal.<br><br>Michael S</div></div><div dir="ltr"><hr><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">From: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:varley@cosmos.net.au">Larry Varley</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Sent: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">4/07/2015 8:28 p.m.</span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">To: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><a href="mailto:healeys@autox.team.net">healeys@autox.team.net</a></span><br><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; font-weight: bold;">Subject: </span><span style="font-family: Calibri,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Re: [Healeys] Bleeding brakes</span><br><br></div>On the drum brake front cars the front brakes must be de adjusted first <br>or you will probably never get all of the air out. It even says in the <br>BN1 manual to do this. This pushes the pistons home and reduces the air <br>in the wheel cylinders.<br>My method for doing it alone - attach about 6 feet of clear soft tube to <br>the bleeder screw. Put the tube up higher than the car ( over a step <br>ladder etc ) open the bleed screw slightly and slowly pump the pedal, <br>then see the fluid come up the tube and keep going until no air bubbles <br>are coming up though the fluid. Close the bleed screw and repeat on all <br>wheel. Works every time.<br>Cheers<br>Larry Varley<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html<br>Suggested annual donation $12.75<br>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<br>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<br><br>Healeys@autox.team.net<br>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys<br><br>Unsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/michaelsalter@gmail.com<br><br></body></html>
