Re: Bleeding brakes. Disc/ Drum with prop valve

If it is an underfloor model, which it looks like the best way to so it is to get one of those oil cans that you press your thumb on to make it work. Get a rubber hose to go over the hose from the can and the bleeder screw. I bled my 53 backwards and it stops hard. When I bled it the conventional way (from the master to the wheel) I could never seem to get all the air out.
