HOW TO: Split the brake lines (many have asked)

I bench bleed my MC's by bolting it up, filling the reservoir and running a line from the port to the reservoir and pumping it. I never understood using a vise, etc. Thoughts?

No need to do any type of proportioning or metering valve to give the fronts more fluid in a drum/drum setup??????

No need for a prop valve when using a drum/drum....the master takes care of the pressure differences...

Sorry, I'll get the fitting list soon...

Works the same way....on a vise you can watch it closely thats all.

I always use the "in car" method. Has worked fine for me. Just install the plugs that come with the master and pump the pedal making sure not to move the piston more than 1 inch. I've also done it by hand holding the master in one hand and using a phillips screwdriver to pump the piston. Actually easier than it sounds
