brake bleeding sucksess
after reading and bleeding for 2 days I have pedal, first off Tom454 did a eye popping writeup, thanks, after using mity-vac to suck out all the old fluid and bring in the new, I clamped off all 4 brake hoses, had a solid pedal, released fronts one at a time-solid pedal, first rear pedal got soft, second rear, pedal sank.
OK, inside bleeder first,using a piece of clear hose with fluid in it I just cracked the bleeder keeping fluid and pressure against the bleeder, I pressed the inner brake pad against the pistons and got bubbles,pressed the outer pad, more bubbles,did that until clear then went to the outside bleeder and repeated,outside pad-inside pad, hit both rears 3 times, my pedal has about 2" travel with motor running and solid pedal, I'll let it sit over night and hit it once more, then who knows I might even get to test drive my new engine! hope this helps someone, yeehaw
