Just installed new brake cylinders, shoes, etc. on my '59 Chevy Truck. The
truck still has the original master cylinder. The question is, how do I
pressure bleed them? For my other vehicle I have a special cap with a 1/4"
inlet on top. Bleeds beautifully with 10-15 psi. Anyone know where I can
get a similar device for this master cylinder? I haven't seen one
advertised anywhere. Alternately, does anyone know the thread size on the
brake cylinder cap? I'll make a bleeding device if I can find a pipe or
something that would thread in there, but I don't know the thread size. I
thought about using a new cap, drilling a hole, etc., but the one I have is
plastic. Don't know if the original was metal or plastic. I don't know
how well this would work on a plastic cap.
Your thoughts are, as always, most appreciated.
