Default Re: '40 Brake Bleeding

I have found that new production wheel cylinders need to be taken apart and inspected, some have the holes drilled wrong, the feed holes drilled off center (cut the shoe tab so the piston is out more to uncover the hole??) and bleeder holes not going to the top of the cylinder --you can't get the air out!!
Even rebuilt ones need taken apart i have had leaks in them because the shavings were not cleaned out
