I built a pressure bleeder that fits the top of the master reservoir. I have pumped about 2 gallons of fluid through and foolowed the shop manual instructions. Bled the hydrovac first but I still can't seem to get it to pedal up. My mechanic flat out refused to work on it. ( to his credit he is good on everything else) He says there will be air in the tops of the rear wheel cylinders that can't come out the bleeder valve because the valve is below the bubble and recommends taking the hubs off and unbolting the wheel cylinders to lay them out flat.
Does anyone have any tips or tricks?
