Re: '68 GMC 3/4 Ton Disc Conversion
Well, it looks like I got the seep resolved. After screwing around way too much yesterday on this, I went ahead and tried the annealing of the washer suggestion. Torched it up to nice and orange and then quenched it in water.
Snugged the banjo bolt nice and tight and no leak. Worst part was losing brake fluid down the inside of my tire. Maybe a 5 minute fix in total.
On to the bleeding. I was basically just doing a gravity bleed, every now and then pump the pedal a few times and make sure the MC remains full. I've been getting a lot of clear fluid out but then I get a nice long line of small air bubbles. It kept going like this, back and forth, until I ran out of brake fluid to add so I had to stop. Is it typical to get air bubbles like this for up to 10-15 minutes doing gravity bleeding? I have no leaks I can see anywhere now but it just looks like the line is sucking in air from somewhere.
