Cleaning Brake Lines
What would be the best way to clean out my brake lines in my 71 ? It 's been setting for about ten years.

Re: Cleaning Brake Lines
Best way I know is to power bleed them with a machine.It will flow fresh fluid thru them.You can probably bleed them by the old pump and drein method but it will take 2 people and a lots 'o pumpin'

Re: Cleaning Brake Lines
Have they been sealed or open? If they've been open and I had the resources I would change them. Brake fluid corrodes a lot and it is a safety issue. Otherwise do as PanelDeland suggested.
