Default Re: Speed bleeders for 1949 F1

Those style of MC caps are the devil. I ended up completely removing mine and used an older one instead. Even after taking off either the hex or the square head pieces, the MC can be tough to refill. Having made a proper mess - and a small pond of brake fluid - trying to urge fluid into the opening, I took the MC off and removed the dang piece. All is happy now.

Maybe you travel to Danbury WI and give me a few pointers. Nothing but problems with this brake project that I should never have started.....

Have a great day!!

Got it done, MC cap removed, no brake fluid, only one brake left to do, still working on that one.... definitely had to get the square cap off, it was difficult but finally got it off.

Lots of help from you guys, now I've done a brake replacement, drove truck to car on Sunday, lots of great comments.....
