bleeding brakes 46 Lincoln

[al pa.]

I havent tried it,but read that a very thick grease around the bleeder would stop air leaks.(not to remove bleeder,or grease threads)

The best method is pressure bleeding each wheel, using a correct bladder-type brake bleeder, while slowly full stroking the master. One man operation.
Second is simply pedal bleeding one wheel at a time while slowly full stroking the master. Speed bleeders also make this a one man operation; otherwise two will be required.
When some pressure can be built, check for leaks by applying very high pedal force. Make sure the system is leak/weep free before spending any further time bleeding. Use isopropyl or denatured alcohol for cleaning all fittings, unions, etc, and for general clean up on the car and hands.
Grease and Teflon tape really should not be used on any parts in contact with brake fluid. :-)

I agree. Pressure bleeding or train the wife to pump the pedal.

This CAN be done with enough effort! I have accomplished this feat.
