Gravity bleed

[beaudeen]

G'day all..just spent 14 hours replacing brake lines..oh the joy..anyhoo..was thinking about doing the gravity bleed on the brakes...question is..can it be done on the sho..i can see it working on all but 1 corner...the passenger front brake line runs pretty close to the same level as the master cylinder...other than that corner it should work...your thoughts would be greatly appreciated..thanks much..!

When I replaced the four compression unions under my hood,from the previous *******, I was surprised to notice the passenger front line running almost level with the master. I'm pretty sure the master is still the highest point in the system as long as the fluid is kept full.
You will have to get a teves abs module to get the air out of the abs unit or do some hard braking on gravel or a dirt road. Supposedly that will also push the air into the lines where it can be bled.
When I did my system I used the phoenix injector, and I still have kind of a soft pedal I don't like, but the brakes are much better and 10x better than my first sho. I can actually get the abs to kick in at a 60 mph stop, the pedal doesn't just go to the floor.
