I figure if Jim finishes my engine up I should probably have brakes. I have everything, it is mostly installed and plumbed but never had fluid in any line. After I bench bleed the master and install it, are there any secrets or best methods for charging all the lines?
I would open all the bleeders and let the system gravity bleed. Keep an eye on master cylinder levels. Then close all the bleeders and bleed each corner one at a time in the conventional manner. If you have access to a pressure bleeder that would be an alternative.
Larry - what about also keeping the brake pedal depressed part way with a piece or wood or a tool designed to do that?
