Ok, so what am I missing?? What tool or socket do I need to open the bleeder screw on the rear drum??? The front is 10mm, but I don't have a socket or any tool that will easily get to the bleeder screw. It looks like there is a guard or something and that I might need a special tool???

Help...

Thanks

 

It's been a while since I've bled mine, but I've always just used a 1/4" ratchet and an 8mm socket.

 

Get a pair of Earls solo bleeders, the job will be a lot easier.

 

Yeah, 1/4 rachet and a 8mm deep socket, let it spray all over you and place a drainpan underneath. It's a pain.

 

I used a deep 8mm and a pair of locking pliers, that way I can attach the hose to the bleeder and open and close the screw....

I think I messed it up though.. The right drum locks up under heavy breaking... Gonna try and re-bleed this weekend. A Buddy has the vacuum bleeder deal. Hopefully that will fix it...

 

I use the socket end of a wrench and put a rubber hose on the exposed nipple. Run the run the hose into a glass with brake fluid (so you can see the bubbles). Have someone SLOWLY press the brake pedal while you crack open the fitting. Close it when the brake pedal bottoms out. Then have them slowly release the pedal. That was the method I used before I bought a vacuum bleeder.
