Well I was having trouble the regular way. I filled the master cylinder up, left the top off, jacked up the left back and removed the wheel. Next I put another jack under the left front jacked it up and lowered the back down as far as I could. This put the MC up higher than the back wheel cylinder. I opened the valve on the wheel cylinder and waited and waited. Nothing. So this is what I did. I put a tygon tube on the valve put the other end in a jar with enough brake fluid to cover the end of it. Went to the brake pedal and slowly pushed the pedal down three times. You can see the fluid go down in the MC. Topped it back off and looked at the jar. The tube now had some fluid in it and very slowly you could see the bubbles come out. I waited till no bubbles came out. Shut the valve out, removed the tube and jar, jacked the truck back up and put the tire back on. Leave the back jacked up, remove the left front tire and lower the front down to get it below the MC. Repeat the process. You need to remember this is a slowly process so just take your time. To be honest I didn't think much about this way to bleed brakes. After going all the way through each wheel, made sure the MC was full put the cap back on pushed the pedal and to my surprise I had the best pedal I've had on the truck. Checked it the next day, same thing, great pedal. Just remember to very slowly push the pedal down and slowly release it. If go to fast you will have a face full of fluid! I was thinking the fluid would just rush out but not so. You'll get some fluid and air but it is slow. Clean up your shop or something while you wait. To me it's worth the trouble. Any question just post and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. This works!
