Holy Moly Herb---My bleeder, all you have to do is take her out for a burger
and a beer! and she also makes sure the reservoir doesn't run dry. :-)

No matter were the bleeder is at it has to be on top or above the puck that
squeezes the pads.

The SSBC kit calipers are copies of the Kelsey Hayes that Chrysler used
in the early 70's and the bleeder is on the OUTSIDE of the caliper!
Fortuneately I have Dragstar-type wheels and the windows are big enough
to get a wrench in to bleed with, otherwise it would be necessary to
remove the wheels first. I DID bench bleed the MC before installing it.
I'm thinking the power bleeder is the way to go. Where did you get yours
and how much was it? Thanks
