Can any one tell me if the brake lines on these trucks can be Gravity Bled ? You know fill the Master Cylinder, open the right rear wheel cylinder and let it drip until all the air is out ...I'm trying this method and nothings coming out. Is it that the master cylinder is at almost the same height as the wheel cylinders ?

Only two decent ways to bleed. Pressure pot or each cylinder while pumping pedal routine.

Once you pressure bleed you will never bleed another way. I am thinking of making a pressure cover for my KTM dirt bike's front brake. The thing is always spongy! Pressure bleeding is fast and easy and you can do it yourself. No more telling your wife to push, but do not release!

Put a air hose fitting on your vented cap ,and hook your air hose to it. Use about five pounds pressure and bleed away. Make sure to watch the fluid closely.

I've done both my M38's and my M37 that way,works great ,and I don't need no pedal pusher.
