Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..

After numerous delays, I finally got around to the bleeding....brakes that is..
The 1 man brake bleeder works pretty decent...id give it a B+...a few things I figured out by trial and error is fill the bladder full before you start..I didnt and about half way thru I had to start over...the other thing is the catch can that hooks on the bleeder screw isn't vented..found that out after I blew the lid off..so I just left the lid off..
A buddy at the dealership said this unit is similar to what they use but on a smaller scale...
I started with a completely dry system..didt bench bleed the master cylinder either.
I did gravity bleed the whole system before I started just so I'd have some fluid in there before I pressured it up..that's how I found the leaks I had..theve all stopped now..
I've got full engagement at half pedal..so I'll have to wait and see what it's like once the hydroboost is in play..
