I strongly dislike bleeding brakes! I found an interesting surprize while in my rear brakes. One of the adjuster wedges was in backwards. After backing off the adjustment, I couldn't adjust back 'cau

I too hate bleeding brakes. I found a company that makes a nifty little device called SpeedBleeder. They make a bleeder screw replacement that lets NO air back in during the bleeding process. You do

Brake bleeding can be fun!!! First of all, on an LHD car, the wheel furthest from the MC is the left rear (trace the line to see why), then the right rear, then the left front, then the right front,

I'm not sure what sizes you need, however, if you let the folks there at Speed Bleeder know what year your car is, they will look it up in their reference book and ship you the right ones. If they ha

For those who want a quick-and-dirty way to bleed Spridget brakes, this is how my son Phil and I did it this afternoon: 1. Get some ex-radiator hose that will fit on the master cylinder filler neck,

I am struggling to bleed my 1960 Bugeye brake system. It's an all-drum-brake system with the tandem master cylinder. I have just rebuilt all 6 slave cylinders, and the master cylinder, as well as the

Hey Daryl, Did you bench bleed the master cylinder? I'm not sure about the older MCs but on the rebuilt MC I got for my '69 it needed to be bench bled first. If you were using a mighty vac this proba

Try pressurizing the system with an ezbleed pushing at the master cylinder, or pulling a vacuum at the bleeder valves. Pumping won't cut it after a rebuild. see: http://www.mgcars.org.uk/cambs.mgoc/

It can be a bitch to get a rebuilt MC started. You really need pressure at the MC or suction at the other end. On my Bugeye the MC rod moves about 1/2 inch. You may also need to adjust the rod trave
