Since Rob Mueller is going to be paying me a visit, and the wasps are all
dead dead DEAD oh frabjous day callou calay I think it might be fun to
shoot a video on Brake Bleeding with the Hupy Bleed-O-Matic (my name for
it, I don't know what he calls it).
Rob asked me to hit the bleeder screws with some PB-blaster or similar and
let them get good and soaked before he and his lovely wife arrive for a
visit. We'll take a look at the brakes and make a determination as to what
further parts, if any, need to be ordered for the future.
So, uh, what exactly am I looking for? Spraying somethign down with PB
blaster is certainly my speed, but I need to know what I'm looking for.
I've never done brake work before, wisely leaving something that can kill
me to the professionals. :)
Is there a link to a picture of what I'm looking for on the wheel cylinders
and the calipers? And what size plastic tubing fits over them?

Where is the bleeder port as opposed to the hydraulic brake line connector
in these photos? I may just hit Youtube... there's prolly some DIY videos
there that will show me the kind of thing I'm looking for already. :)
