Bleeding Brake Lines I need some help

Post by CWBYUP »

What is the best way to bleed the full brake system when it has been drained ?

trying to get pressure in the Zooks brakes and after 15 minutes of pushing the pedal i got sick of it.

Should i do it with the motor running or can it be done while its off.

Thanks in advance for any Info, I appreciate it.

Just go buy a decent vacuum brake bleeder, just fill the master and suck it through, easy as one man job

Trade tools is importing them now hand held vacum brake bleeder just under $45. The best $45 I've spent for a long time. 10minutes and the hole system bleed properly....
