MG MGB and MGB GT Tech Talk
Repaired a leaky rear cylinder, ready to bleed the brakes, can I just bleed the rear brakes or do I have to bleed all 4? Master cylinder is separated into 2 sections, one for front, one for back, I'm assuming. The front is still full.
I know, it doesn't take long, but when you don't have someone to pump the brakes and you're using a cheap One Man bleeder, it's a pain in the butt.
You can get away with that. Fluid should be changed out every couple of years anyway though.
Are you using a tube on the bleeder that goes down into a jar of fluid? That is the cheapest one man bleeder I have come across. Works great.
Chris,
Yes, that's what I'm using, bottle is really small, hard to tell if there is air coming out, because I still have to pump the brakes and can't watch at the same time.
You should be able to bleed just the rears. Just a side note, I built a pressure bleeder to help with bleeding. So far it works great, I just pressure up, open the valve, and then go to each bleeder.
