I went to move it over the weekend and the brake pedal went almost to the floor. I looked down in the master cylinder and it was empty.
Do I have to bleed the lines or can I just add brake fluid? Does it take more than one person to bleed the lines? Do I put dot3 back in it or is there a different fluid I should use for a 53?
What is the procedure to bleed the lines? I have the shop manual, but the info on the forum is easier to follow.
Like I said: "If all else fails, read the instructions"
