Re: Bleeding Brakes

Been a certified tech for 40 plus years and vp of a brake company.

Always bench bleed the m/c. When you try to bleed them on the vehicle, you may not make the piston travel the full stroke of the m/c, that leaves a bubble at the end of the m/c bore. Bench bleeding takes any doubt out of the equation.

With all the work we put into making these trucks nice, why risk a no brake situation if the bubble travels into the system?

Nice drawings RichardJ

That's my 10 cents worth (it used to be 2 cents but we had inflation.)
