I'm in the process of installing new brake lines (SS from Classic Tube, but that's another story) and approaching the bleeding stage. The MC is about 8 years old so I'm not replacing it. The MC is empty from draining while we removed the old lines. Here's what I've got figured out so far.
Cut and bend the old supply lines to route into the reservoirs.
Fill MC with fluid and pump the brake pedal until bubbles stop.
Remove the lines and plug the ports. At this point the brakes should be rock solid.
Install Jim H's bleeder.
Remove front brakes plug and connect new supply line.
Bleed PS until bubbles stop then do DS. Pedal should be rock solid.
Cap all rear brake lines at slave cylinder connection except PS rear.
Bleed. Pedal should be rock solid.
Repeat for PS mid, DS rear, and finally PS rear.
Drive coach and re-bleed normally (i.e., without isolating sections).
Comments?
