Stupid thread but I've never bled brakes with an under-floor master cylinder. Looks like the only way to do it is to pull up the floor mat, taking the risk of breaking it into pieces, and remove the floorboard panel to access the master cylinder.

On a previous thread, saw a recommendation from Tubman and others to use speed bleeders. They're on the way from Speedway motors. Any other tips to make this less hard than it needs to be?

I've bled brakes before so the concept of getting air out of the brake lines isn't news.

Can't believe my Columbia rear end project is coming up on it's one-year anniversary. All the things I've had to learn have been very time-consuming. Thank goodness for the San Diego chapter of the Early Ford V8 club for expertise and tool loans.
