Re: 1972 K2500 no rear brakes

I do the 4 beer method...

Fill master cylinder with fluid. Crack a bleeder and then crack a beer. Sit in lawn chair and listen to some tunes. After you finish beer, check bleeder to see if fluid is coming out of bleeder. If it is, close bleeder. (If not, it might require another beer... lol!) Check master cylinder and top off if needed.

Repeat 3 more times.

To help with cleanup, some strategically placed rags under bleeders help. Never let master cylinder run dry.
