<VV> another brake question--'61 Lakewood

[HallGrenn at aol.com]

Dot 5 does take longer to lose its bubbles if you aerate it, but just be  
careful when you pour it in and it works just fine.  The second time I did  
my own complete brake overhaul  with DOT5 I rushed got the fluid full of  
bubbles so I had to drain it and refill it using another container of DOT5 and  
one mechanic who used my DOT5 fluid when he renewed my brakes did the same  
thing.  But the FIRST time I used DOT5 I took my time and the brakes were  
firm with no air contamination problems.  It isn't the fluid it's  the 
mechanic:)

If you  are using Dot5 fluid it is very difficult to  bleed.
