It is the only way to bleed the brakes on my ton truck that I know of, thanks Pat?

If you don't let the master cyl. run low all the air will be right at the cyl. You can put a C clamp on the cyl. to keep it from coming apart while you bleed it.

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Bleeder screw needs to be at the top to remove all the air, which it is in original configuration. Turning backing plate 90* likely traps air. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 56 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Feb 2013 Posts: 56 | Thank you for the advice. Pat
