[Healeys] Bleeding brakes

[Bob Spidell]

I thought that was SOP for bleeding brakes (at least, that's what my pappy taught me ;).

Hi, This is the excerpt to which I referred last night. It's an extract from 
my amended .pdf BMC manual and I hope it reproduces alright. (It was, 
originally, a reminder to myself as my printed version is later and slightly 
more complete(?) than the .pdf version. Hope that makes sense!)

This is included in my printed BMC manual and seems worth including here:- 
"If the bleeding of any cylinder continues without success for a 
considerable time it is 
possible that air is being drawn in past the bleeder screw threads. In such 
cases tighten 
the bleeder screw at the end of each downward stoke of the pedal and allow 
the pedal to 
return fully before re-opening it. Close the bleeder screw finally during 
the last pedal 
application."
