I am definately no mechanic. The owners manuel that GT gave me has directions for bleeding the line but I can't make sense of it. If someone could identify these parts for me it would help. I already changed my Tranny fluid and that was a piece of cake..but now I want/need to bleed the line. Is this the master cylinder reservoir? The lever arm? Is this the caliper? AND is this one of the bleed screws on the caliper? |

Here's the deal. I just replaced the master cylinder reservoir because the original was leaking. I filled the new one with DOT 5 and figured I need to bleed the line. |

Do I crack both of those bleed screws AND is it the whole screw of just the silver tip? |

the silver thing just break it loose about half a turn or till fluid comes out then tighten it before the fluid stops flowing out to prevent air from getting back in the caliper and defeat the purpose of the whole process, do this while squeezing the the lever, may have to repeat it a few times until the lever gets hard. and dont let the master cylinder run out of fluid keep it full while bleeding. does that make sence? |
