My series had been having problems with temperemental brakes. Ev ery so often on a long uphill run the brakes would be binding. This was apparantly due to air in the master cylinder. It lost all its fluid when it blew a wheel cylinder the last time it did this so Ive replaced that cylinder and put new mintex shoes and proline drums all round.
Now then whats the best way of bleeding? Ive heard it should have the nose down so Ive backed it on the ramps but just wondering whats best for bleeding the master cylinder and what order to do the slaves. I've always done furthest to closest from master cylinder, having my dad manning the bleed screw whilst I push the pedal all the way down and checking the fluid every couple of pumps. Is that correct or is here a better way of ensuring all air is out the system?
Its a single line circuit with 10" drums with single wheel cylinders and a servo
