[Shotimes] bleeding brakes

[Ron Porter]

Pull the tires. Much easier in the long run. Of course, if you have a
compressor and an impact wrench, that's a non-issue.

In about an hour or two (or when this torrential rainstorm stops), I'll be
out changing the oil, but also flushing my brakes. I find it easier yet to
put all four corners on jackstands, pull the wheels, and go at it that way.
It's also a good time to do the X" rotation on the tires.

Oh now he tells me. :)

I will do that next time.
Can't believe I had all this trouble.
I have done lots of work on my SHO even bleed the brakes 3-4 times and these
darn valves stumped me.
I was trying to bleed w/ tires on using open ended wrench.
You live and learn.

Thx.

Just curious can one purchased bleeder valves from NAPA/AutoZone or some
place?

Take care
Everyone.

Also, if they seem to be stubborn, don't use an open end wrench on them.
Either use a good-fitting socket or a socket-end wrench made for brake
bleeders.
