Default Re: Brake Adjustment

My '38 has mechanical brakes, but from what I remember about hydraulics, pump and release slowly to prevent bubbles, do the right rear first (farthest from MC), left front last (closest to MC). Back in the day, I used a Nehi pop bottle (clear) with the hose submerged and my helper pumped a couple times beyond the no bubbles point. I'm told that if you are using silicone fluid, the brakes will normally feel spongy. You probably know all that, but offhand, that's all I remember anyway.
