Any words of wisdom?

Large Hydraulic Brake Systems require a reverse flow bleeder. Starting with the cylinders furthest from the master, bleed that one and replace the Zerk, tighten it well, then the next one on the same axle finishing, then the passenger side on the front axle, finally the driver side. If it has a balancing block, you need to make sure the valve is centered. I have never had this system fail me!

Brakes all good now, still going to replace all the rubber hoses when we settle in for the winter down south, (snowbirds!).

Being skoolie life is an adventure, just replaced our serpentine belt....on the road. Gotta love it!
