Default Re: 1940 Brake Bleeding

In response to post 64...
Sorry, I don't have a training manual. I have two manuals that are identified as published by Ford Motor Company, one from 1942, and one from 1948. Neither exactly address your question, but rather, use words like "repeat at the other three wheels". (not an exact quote)

edit... in an effort to address the question in post 64, I've looked at more manuals. I have found several manuals that specify 'sequence'. Just one example is the 1950 Motor's Manual. It says "Start at the wheel cylinder to which the brake fluid travels the greatest distance from the master cylinder (right rear wheel)." Further on it says "repeat the process on the other wheels in turn, always moving to the wheel which is the greatest distance from the master cylinder of those remaining to be bled."
(... a 'windy' way of agreeing with post 62.)
