Man, this video describes my exact brake problems. I got a new prop valve before I saw this but, that's OK I'll change it out anyway. I think it could use one after 40 years. Lol

Still very informative. I learned me something anyway.

Sprung 12 bucks more for the brassone over the aluminum one. Well worth it to me.

I knew there was a way to do it never looked into it. Good bit of knowledge to know and for me to forget in a year or two

This guy is right less than half the time. Be careful what you hear on the internet.

I watched about 3 on this and they all basically said the same thing. A little bit different ideas on how to reset it but, did need to reset it.

At least he didn't say open one front bleeder and stomp it to reset. Lol

Did anyone else notice the compression fittings on the brake lines at the master cylinder?
They should never be used on brake systems.

All I could think about the whole video. The guy telling you how to do brakes has a fist full of compression fittings on his brake lines. :happy175: That is an instant inspection fail once they pop the hood and see those fittings.

This happened to Bonnie Blazer after the tire fell off and took the brakes with it. Old dude "Master Tech" 's service writer Randy calls up one day telling ME that they can't get the brakes to bleed and they want to put a new master cylinder on it.

Long story short says I had to GO UP THERE and show that guy how to do just this. Master Tech my ass.
