Having completed the replacement of the rear bushings, springs, and one hub,
I am attempting to bleed my brakes. My first attempt I used the "spousal"
method (Only I used the "8 year old son" version) with no success. I next
used a mity vac pump. After numerous cycles of pumping and opening the bleed
valve, I only got a few dribbles of fluid out. I then tried the front brakes
to see if I would have more success. The front brakes had not been opened so
I thought it would be a good check. I couldn't get any fluid out of the
fronts either. Am I missing something here? It's not like I haven't bled
brakes before. It shouldn't be this hard!
