[Chevelle-list] brake bleeding

[mike f]

Steve, I don't think the process is any different from bleeding disc/disc systems. To start, I am assumming that the master cylinder is all good and filled. Then start with someone in the car and you and a can of brake fluid at the right rear drum. Have the person punp it up and hold it. Then you crack the bleed screw then close it. repeat over and over again going from the furthest point to the the nearest. Never let the fluid go empty in the master cylinder. 

In a coffee can with brake fluid, I also use a tube that is out on the bleed screw to help avoid sucking air back in . 

I have never had a booster go bad. 

hope this helps
mike

Hi guys was wondering about the correct way to bleed the disc/drum power brake system on a 70 chevelle? I think i read some where that you need to hold open the prop valve while bleeding (?) does the booster require vacumn during bleeding? is there a way to tell if the booster is bad? if the master is bad? Thanks  steve
