Re: brake bleeding question


Calipers never left their respective sides. besides the 65 fronts have the hose on one side of the brake plate and the bleeder on the other.

I wasn't getting fluid to the rear until I replaced the rear hoses. The fluid does not flow under gravity.

How can I preserve my original MC for future use, if needed?

I have to find someone to help me bleed the brakes tonight or tommorrow. Hopefully I'll have more info for you then. Thanks as always for the help.
