SV: Bench bleeding Master Cylinder?

[Knud-Erik Holm <kebh@xxxxx>]

When I have that problem, bleed it from the wheels and up.
I push brake fluid in with a oilpump, til it comes out in the reservoir.

Emne: RE: Bench bleeding Master Cylinder?


I installed an SSBC disc kit a few weeks ago on the 64 Polara and have 
bled the brakes with my wife's help, but I still have mushy brakes. I 
bled them till I got NO air out, but obviously there IS still air in the 
lines. I'm thinking about either buying or building a power bleeder 
since I now have to bleed the brakes on the 70 Dodge Sweptline I just 
bought to make a gasser out of. Anybody ever built or used a power 
bleeder?
