Putting the multimeter on the brake switch and looking for continuity may give u a false positive depending on the ohm range selected. Best to disconnect the two wires at the brake switch and feed on

Yeah, I just did it, and didn't seem to get any air in the brake line. In my case the symptom was that I had to press extremely hard with both feet to get the light to come on. -- Max Heim '66 MGB GH

I have successfully done that a couple of times on my 65 MGB. I had my fingers crossed. There was very little seepage but apparently just enough to prevent air getting into the system. Kelvin.

BTDT. Ditto. That's perhaps because there is some remaining pressure after using the brakes, due to the check valve deep below in the master cylinder.

I remember really dreading this job, and putting it off for months (on the 67). I was afraid that I would spray brake fluid all over my nice paint job. Not to worry, when I did tackle it, it was a p

Before tackling the switch measure the voltage on both spades and connectors with the pedal operated. If you have 12v on the green spade and less than that on the green/purple spade then the switch i
