It was super cool to get behind the wheel, even though I'm sitting on a 6x6 piece of wood.
so bleeding the master and front went OK; we got nothing on the backs. I suspect the brake pressure regulator needs to be wacked or something. Please advise before I do something stupid. Some videos show a different BPR, this is a 75'  |

Get Speed Bleeders (PMB?), a long length of clear tubing that fits the SBs (long enough to reach the floor outside the driver’s side door from the right rear) and a catch jar. Makes bleeding the brakes a one person job as you sit in the driver’s seat with the door open. No telling the helper ‘pump, pump, pump, hold, release’ repeatedly. Right rear, left rear, right front, left front. That order. You will see air bubbles going down the line. Get a big bottle of brake fluid. Don’t bleed the reservoir to empty.

We are not getting fluid to the rear calipers. Fronts are fully bled. |
