I have the same problem with bleeding the brakes, on a 40 tudor also with Silicone fluid.


Drove me nuts last fall, and finally gave up for a while, had to get away from it.
So i'm going to try again, and its not easy for a kid 85 years young, still

playing with cars.
If its a no go , i'm going to start all over again with Dot #3 fluid, flushing the system with denatured alcohol....ect.. ect...
