The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts bleeding brakes on 1949 chevy 6400

i just put in new front cylinders,main cylinder and profesionaly rebuilt hydrovac. ive put in a quart of fluid in already and am only getting a little pressure back in the pedal to push it back up about a quarter of the way up.Does anyone know what im doing wrong?do i just keep on filling with fluid?Is the hydrovac supposed to fill with lots of oil?
Whats going on here?
Thanks

Here is the manual: http://chevy.oldcarmanualproject.com/booklets/51mts06/5106mtsindex.html

Good luck!

Adjust you're brakes with the adjusters. Jack up one wheel or set of wheels just off the ground. When you get a slight drag while spinning the wheels, try bleeding them again. When I did mine, they where a bit spongy and I felt as though I needed to double pump them to make sure I had enough brake. They got better after some use. Adjust them and drive the truck slowly around in the yard and then readjust the adjusters. Make sure there is a little drag on the drums. It worked for me. By the way, I bypassed my Hydrovac for the time being till I can get it rebuilt. I don't know if that will make for a different outcome for ya.

thanks for the manual! That things great! Im gunna try bleeding the other valve that i missed on the hydrovac and hopefully thats my problem.Thanks again
