well i have a completely new brake system in my 54 3100 and am having major problems trying to bleed it.
the system is:
-new 7" power booster with corvette dual reservoir master
-front is 85 s10 new calipers, new stainless hoses, new pads
-rear is 88 ranger 10" drums, new wheel cylinders, hardware and shoes
-brand new 3/16 lines throughout the entire truck
-2lbs residual valve for the front and 10lbs for the rear
-no proportioning valve
the master was correctly bench bled prior to installation!
been checking for leaks but really hard to do when there is no pressure what so ever in the lines. i have one of those speed bleeder kits which hooks up to your air compressor and i let it run on one front caliper for about 20 min, went through roughly 3 large bottles of brake fluid and there is still lots of large air bubbles coming out. have tried everything from a buddy pumping the pedal to gravity bleeding still have way too much air in the lines. anyone have any tips or suggestions?! at this point i'm considering just taking it to a shop, been messing with these brakes for 2 months now!!!!
note: on this first pic the line for the front brakes is hooked to the small reservoir on the master, i have since corrected this and the front line is now hooked to the larger rear reservoir
