Re: Correct order of bleeding brakes for 1968 Chevy C10

I just open the rear bleeders while keeping the fronts closed. Keep filling the master cylinder. you may have to very slowly and gently (so as to not trip the proportioning valve) press the pedal a little ways to initially get fluid to the rear. Once you start getting fluid let gravity do it’s thing. Once the air is gone, close the rears and move to the front. Keep the master full at all times. I’ve done a few completely empty systems like this and never had a single soft pedal. Leon is spot on with the drum adjustment, you’ll never get a good pedal with the drums improperly adjusted.
