Dosassembling all the things - on the brake system today. Need to drain the lines, I feel like the typical bleed procedures dont apply in this scenario and are inefficient. Cracked a caliper drain plug and pumped brakes and a little came out , but I feel like there needs to be a way to just let it drain - introduce air at the top of the system - any way to do this? Cracked open a couple of the lines on the master cylinder to no avail. _________________ 1984 Westfalia Orwell (crispy)

Tske the cap off of the master cylinder, open all of the bleeders. _________________ T.K. |

Thanks that did it! I opened the last one, rear left, and it all pumped through. I guess I have a poor understanding of hydraulics, as I thought just opening one would do it _________________ 1984 Westfalia Orwell (crispy)
