In doing a little routine maintenance, I discovered that the brake reservoir was empty or nearly so. I then filled the reservoir and reinstalled the fitting closing off the reservoir.
Now, I suspect that there is air in the brake lines and plan to bleed that air. Question is: How? My Coupe is S./N 1143 built in 1946. But the brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. On the bottom of each brake fitting there is a small fitting with a DeZurk fitting. Plan is to connect an oil can pump to that fitting and open up the reservoir so the air will have some place to escape.
The master cylinder is apparently hidden behind floor boards, I am guessing that the system vent is on top of the master cylinder. Does anyone know if that is right. I hate the idea of removing that floor board.
Of course, it is possible that the seal on the master cylinder has
gone bad but I am hoping that is not the case.
Any suggestions or relevant experience to share with me?
