Re: [FWDLK] bleeding brakes

[Mike Apfelbeck <moparmike@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Start with the one furthest away from the master cylinder first, then the
next furthest and so on.I have a Mityvac, I never was that impressed with
it but they do work a lot better than nothing when you're alone.You can
get a start on things by gravity bleeding, opening the bleeders on at a
time until fluid runs out at each place. A pressure bleeder is the way to
go, you may be able to rent one at a tool rental place, they also show up
on e-bay from time to time.
