well here we are again, after another super successful project,,with one very minor,, silly thing really,, but i may as well do it..!!! and get it right...
Brakes!!!
I have to bleed them..
diff is in, and workin ripper rita..!!
decades ago, I remember helping a mate bleed his brakes, and I seem to recall, we pumped the brake pedal, and then loosened the bleed nut??
or was it we pumped the brake pedal while we loosened the bleed nut??
HHHMMM?????
please tell me the kirecto mundo sequence.!!
my fellow problemo terminators,
cheers.
by the by,
is it possible to bleed the bleedin brakes, by oneself??
cheers again
ptpro
some men see things as they are, and ask "why"
I dream of things that never were, and say, "bloody ripper idea mate, lets try it",!! |
more than basketcase than a bear!

go and buy a suction type brake bleeder and then its possible to bleed them by yourself..also doesnt screw the seal in your master cylinder...start at rear left then go rear right then go front left then go front right and then go for a drive for the fun. |

A one man brake bleeder for about $20.00 was how I last bleed the brakes in our Crown, unbelievably easy and the best job I have ever done.

I think you only blow the master cylinder when you dont release the bleeder valve while pushing back the brake pads
If its not broke it will be soon |

just get a coffe jar or something with a screw top, punch a small hole in the top and feed about 600mm of plastic tube in, make sure it is the right size to go over the bleed valve, about 5/26 i think, make sure the end touches the bottom of the jar.
