I was wondering if anybody has heard of bleeding the brakes in the follwing manner.
I found away to bleed the brakes on my trucks with out opening any of the bleeder valves. I just back the brake petal rod that goes into the MC all the way out so that it is as short has it will get, and then just pump the the petal 30 or 40 times and then re-ajust the brake petal rod.
I'm not sure why this works but I have done it many times. I guess it lets the plunger return enough to let the air come thru the MC not sure, But I can do this in about 15 min. with no mess or waste of brake fluid. I do not know if this will work when stating with a whole new system that is dry. It has work for me when replacing brake lines or wheel cly. or when a truck has been sitting for a long time
