Re: [MV] Brake Bleeding Tricks Anyone???

I was having trouble bleeding my hydraulic clutch on my 62 Triumph TR3B
(the clutch line had several high points). I drilled a hole in an old
master cylinder cap, inserted a metal tire valve stem and dialed the
regulator on my compressor down to 20 psi. I then pressurized the
reservoir, and pushed the clutch pedal to the floor. This method was a
cheap mechanics version of a pressure bleeder. It worked great on the
clutch and the brakes. I tried this same thing on my 79 Ford Bronco
and was not as successful. Give it a try!

I use air pressure regulated to 30-40psi applied to the resevior for one
person bleeding. Don't forget to watch the brake fluid level.
