Question of the day is from France about bleeding brake's circuit on Spitfires.
Have you ever had a look *inside* a rear wheel cylinder ? Because it's the place
where begin the mystery : the small hole for the bleeding screw is not at the
top of the cylinder, as always seen in every other cars, but, more or less, in
the *middle* of the cylinder ! Is there someone who can explain to me how we can
push the air out in these conditions ? After bleeding half of the cylinder,
brake fluid will go out without air, but the upper half of the cylinder
(assuming air is lighter than brake fluid..) will be full of air ??!!??
