What's up all? Been a while. Here's what's up, I got my TII down here in Riverside (finally) last nite. However, I had to drive her out here with no brakes besides the E-brake.

Does anyone have the equipment needed to bleed brakes? I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me out tomorrow sometime to get the car running 100% again. I'm stuck until I'm able to get this done.

Lemme kno!

all you need is a wrench some brake fluid and some bozo to help pump the pedal

 

I always thought I needed tubing, some kinda suction thingy, brake fluid, and a bozo to help?

I've never done it before. Don't have a lot of spare brake fluid either, so I was looking to get it done right the first time.

 

3 pumps and hold.

also you only need to tube i fyou dont want it to be messy i think

 

Get more brake fluid before you start, otherwise bozo might be giving you a lift to buy more.

 

Unscrew the brake fluid caliper bolt thingy and just have some dude pump the brakes for you.

 

 

Hey, I could probably help out on Sunday, how's that sound? You got a 7 or 8mm wrench and some small clear tubing(to fit over the bleed screw)?

 

Ive got the wrench, but no tubing.

 

wait, since when did you move to Riverside??

 

Then any vacuum line will do. Buy 2 bottles of DOT3 or 4 brake fluid (your choice), and let me know. You'll need a jack and jackstands also.

 

Derek!!! hit me up I'll help that and I haven't talked or seen you in months. thought you fell off the planet or something.

 

Derek, get some speed bleeders! You're going to need another bottle of dot 3 for sure. Start from the rear passenger side tire; open up the brake master cylinder and make sure your fluid is always topped off (you don't want an air bubble). Have someone pump the brakes 3 times and have them hold the pedal to the floor on the 3rd pump. Crack the bleeder open for a sec, close it, and have them pump again. Do that until the brake fluid is clean (make sure to keep the master cylinder topped off!) Move onto the rear driver side, then the front passenger, and finally front driver side.

If you were to use speed bleeders, all the steps mentioned above can be done with one person, a dub, and a pipe. hahahhah

 

this should only take like 15 minutes with help from someone with common sense to pump and a hydraulic jack to speed up the jacking.

 

really!........................................... it took me three days.
