<VV> Brakes...again

[TimogensTurbo at aol.com]

Your  bleeder / wheel cylinder is rusted and blocked...

1 Do you have any pedal resistance when everything is closed up?  if not..you 
need to start with the pass. rear...then drivers rear .the pass. front..then 
drivers front. DID you ever have any brakes on this car just before you 
started to work on it?


2  IF you have some pedal:

TIP....  remove bleeder completely.....stomp on pedal! [ it'll blow out most 
rust usually!]

  Here we go..you know the "Proceedure"..but not any idea of what your trying 
to do... you are trying to MOVE the AIR  out of the system....PUMPING / 
making pressure only MIXES Fluid and air....into small bubbles.....you never can 
get all of them out.....when you stop..the air goes back together into ONE BIG 
BUBBLE  and no / or soft pedal!

A   Fill Reservoir....lay cap ontop

    Get a can / cup clear bottle ...1/2" of brake fluid in bottom....hose 
from Bleeder to bottom of can...immersed in fluid.

B    SLOWLY push pedal to floor and hold for 5 seconds....then release 
pedal...wait for 20 seconds..the HOLE the fluid  goes thru is very small.....and 
only is OPEN when the pedal is fully UP...

C  After pumping 3 -4 times.......look at can...is new fluid  visible....any 
bubbles?.....If new fluid and NO bubbles....tighten bleeder / refill MC and go 
to next one!
