Brakes

Sometimes I have had luck pumping it up and put a stick on the pedal overnight. You
will get it done even without a pressure bleeder. Think you have problems, try brakes
with ABS and all that foolishness nightmare, or trucks with a booster. You have a simple system 'that can be worked on' now we are getting the 10yr old cars, pickups, with
rotted brake lines in the shop, just about all are miserable jobs. People think disk brakes rule? thats why we have barrels of warped rotors and toasted pads brake lines for junk. (my rant) sam


If it ain't got air brakes I don't want it.
 
Hi big job,


I do the same thing, wedging a 2X4 between the seat and a depressed brake pedal. Started doing this with motorcycles and now do it with my old cars too. Works great.

Hope, Is it possible that you have air being sucked into the system when you try to bleed?
I too have used Speed Bleeders and the "stick on the pedal" and it always worked. Very strange.

I have not done any bleeding of the system for a while, i may have been too impatient at first. Did check back when i did the first time, and didn't seem to have any leak or sucking.


I'm referring back to one of my first posts, about looking up the Search section of the Ford barn, and there's soooo much information, that i don't know where to start.


But i'm not going to give up, just need TIME.
