Brake Bleed

[71RS/SS396]

Sooo....When will the "Stielow Bleeder" be available for purchase?

Mark, where did you find the reservoir cap?

Hey Mark,

Does the factory use something similar to fill the hydraulic clutch system?

Thanks,

Steve

Looks good and could uncover small leaks, but I've never had an issue getting a rock hard brake pedal just using one of those cheap pressure bleeders. I felt like I found God the first time I used one instead of pumping the pedal. But I don't have an ABS module either.

I visited the Corvette assembly line in Bowing Green a while back and one of the items I specifically tried to see was how they bleed brakes on the line. I was not able to figure out exactly where they did this much less how they did it. But it was clearly a very quick procedure. This is great information to know that a GM system can hold that pressure and vacuum. Now if Wilwood can tell me if their MCs will handle this kind of pressure and vacuum I should be set with my C6 Z06 calipers. Thanks for this info Mark!

I'm confused as to why the vacuum port and fluid port communicate with each other above the master.
