I under stand how to bleed the brakes

When using the vacuum bleeder from Snapon (BB9018) at a 100 PSI no brake fluid would come out.

Value was open.

Due I need more PSI?

Due I need to press on the brake pedal to open the value in the master?

If so, how far?

Thanks for help and direction

pull the bleed screw and make sure it isnt plugged Joshua, sometimes when they havent been touched for years, hmm,, that would apply to a lot of the pieces and parts on our Landies, things arent what they are supposed to be.

Are you getting fluid to the brakes hoses? Could be they have failed internally, stopping the fluid from getting through.

100 is way too much pressure to bleed series brakes, I use 10-14 pounds.

Is the cap on or off the reservior? If it is on, take it off and see if your luck changes.

I thought speed bleeders replaced the need for vacuum bleeding. Could these be preventing the fluid from being vacuumed through?

Speed bleeders all 5 of themI'd loose the speed bleeders unless you have stainless. They rust up pretty badly.


100 is way too much pressure to bleed series brakes, I use 10-14 pounds.It's a vacuum bleeder powered by compressed air. Not like a Motive pressure bleeder.

My brakes are now fixed.

I bought a pressure bleeder.

I used 14 psi per the green book.

I will due one more bleed this coming weekend

My speed bleeders are stainless
