bleeding brakes on G 60

Really old stuff that got saved. Here are the old Nissan Patrol Club America messages from the 'General' category. Warning, it's dusty in here!

Start with the brake furthest from the master cylinder. Top off master cylinder with new brake fluid, conect a tube to the bleeder screw and put the other end in a can, have someone pump the brake pedal several time's, then tell them to hold the pedel down while you open the bleader slightly to release the air, close the bleader before the peddel gets to the floor. Do it until no more air comes out. Repeat this on the next brake.

I have found that the reverse pressure bleeder is the most effective, but you should always start with the cylinders that are the farthest from the master.Dave
