One Person Brake Bleeding
Weighing option of painting calipers myself or removing as sending to Mike for powdercoating. My biggest concern would be reinstalling the caliper and bleeding the system.
I would be doing this alone, and need advise on best approach to doing this. Have seen the threads, and they use 2 people, so would picking up a vacuum pump locally be best method? And guessing from reading, there are 2 valves on each caliper? Thx |

Harbor Freight sells a pressure bleeder I believe.
You can't find anyone to pump the brakes for you?

Have Mike do them. They look fantastic afterwards.
Why can't you get someone to pump the brakes for you? Hell, last time I did mine I had my 72 yr old mother pump the brakes for me. Surely you know someone that can sit in the car and pump the brakes for you.

I worked for Midas for years, gravity bleed first and then just a few pumps on each caliper and push the piston back in usually does it for me.
