washers and bleeding tips
Hi, 66cruiser,
Just for future reference you can eaisly anneal the copper washers and make 'em soft again by heating them with a propane torch or even on the stove (gas of course) till they are cherry red then quench in water. The bleeding of the calipers or cylinders can be an easy 1 man job if you get and install "speed bleeders". They look like the usual bleeder valve but internally they have a check ball so no air gets back into the caliper/cylinder. You just loosen the valve and pump the pedal 5 or 6 times and then tighten the valve.
You run a tube to a container of fluid as you do conventionally. A set of 4 valves will run about $30.00 from CPP ( classicperform.com ).
Enjoy your ride,
LB
