1946 Ford Fordor project

[sugarmaker]

Folks,
John invited me to help on the 46 with bleeding the brakes. So I drove the 32 truck down to his place and we began. No fluid at right rear wheel cylinder! None at left rear wheel cylinder. None at right front. About ready to give up, we got fluid at the front left! Yikes!
Started taking portions on the lines off going to the rear and found the short flex hose was plugged! While open we blew air through the lines and did get some yucky old fluid and particles out. John had new flex hose for that mid car component. Re assembled we now had fluid to the rears. On the right front John removed the steel line from the flex hose to the wheel cylinder, and yes that flex hose was plugged also. When replaced, we were able to bleed all the cylinders, and get some amount of brake pedal. Thought we should try to adjust the master cylinder rod. Well I went too far and disengaged the rod. John had to remove the master cylinder again and will address the brake bleeding again in the future. We will win!
Regards,
Chris and Cheryl
