Bleeding Brakes - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

salazar44 · 09-27-2007, 11:46 PM

hey guys, just got done from putting on new front brake shoes, drums, wheel cylinders, and hoses. After this I was planning on bleeding the brakes and putting in more brake fluid. After opening the resevior I discovered it was BONE dry!

So my question is... How do I refill my system properly after it has been empty? The lines appeared to have some fluid in them. I started bleeding the system from the rear passenger side then moved to the rear driver. The fluid catch system I have sucks and its not what it claims to be (single person brake bleeder)!

What do you all recommend? I will continue on this after word from you guys.
