[Shotimes] Power Bleeder

[Ron Porter]

I wouldn't go over 20 psi....I did before the Convention, and put a 1/2
quart of Valvoline on the driveway when the cap blew off the m/c!!

Really doesn't much matter where you start. I "usually" do the rears first,
as I will have all 4 corners jacked up. Last week, when replacing the front
pads & rotors, I did each side separately, starting at the rear. Since car
mfrs went to split systems in the mid 60s, and especially since they went to
ABS setups, the sequence is irrelevant. Do whatever feels good.

No need to be level at all. It mattered doing the gravity-bleed method, but
not with the Motive bleeder.

I have a Motive bleeder with all of the caps for about every car. I got the
three-prong Ford a few months ago. The "trick" is to put two of the cap tabs
in the grooves on the pass. side of the m/c, then kinda snap the 3rd lug
into the smaller opening. It then just takes a very small clockwise turn to
lock it.

It really works well (the three-prong adaptor), considering the Ford m/c is
pretty lame for fastening a cap down.

Just got my ProMotive power bleeder today with the 3-prong adaptor, Can
someone tell me:

1) How much pressure is required for our cars.                   2) Which
wheel to start on & sequence for the next three.
3) Does car have to be level.
4) Anything else

I was done with the brakes yesterday but, couldn't drive it as pedal felt
very
soft so, I'm trying to get it done tonight.
Thanks,
Ed
