Big Brakes

[razerwire]

gravity bled? Are calipers above level of master cylinder? You have power bleeder? You have pressure gauge? You have 2 lb check valves, one for back and one for front? You have line pressure adjuster for rear brakes? You have 3/16 inch stainless lines? No one to help me. Have set of Earls spring loaded bleeders or should I use power bleeder? Doing brakes on Bennett car right now, just talking out loud to myself. FWIW

I had to go to self-sealing speed bleeders on my ERA to get everything bleed firm - the rebuilt calipers on my car were typical in that the bleeder threads are usually oversize and leak air around the bleeder screws no mater if you try pressure bleeding or vacuum bleeding the system. Since you are working alone, the spring loaded bleeders are very convenient.
