I am in the middle of a rear axle tuneup. I have read that I will need to bleed the air from my brake lines when I am done.

Is there an easy way to do this wirhout spending more cash? If not will it be detrimental to my runner if I package it all back up and drive it somewhere that can bleed it for me?

Thanks

Did you open the Brake hydraulic system at all??
then no you don't have to bleed them.
But if you want to I'm sure theres a write up on here or you could search the Internet for a write up.

Well...Since i was pulling the axle out (brake package an all) I had to disconnect the brake line.

I just didnt know if there was a way i could bleed the air out without taking it to a shop or buying any more tools.

I have looked through the 3rd gen forum and havent found anything regarding bleading air from brake lines. I will continue to look.

Thanks

Sorry, was at work and read your post quick. But you don't need any more tools then what you should have already. Just have to buy brake fluid and find a friend willing to help.

Make sure before you start is that each bleeder screw can be loosened. Go to each bleeder on each wheel and crack each one lose and tighten them back up. You don't want to start and have a bleeder not come loose or snap off on you while your trying to bleed the brakes.

Here's how to bleed the breaks with a friend:

Step 1: Take the rubber cap off each bleeder screw. Position your box-end wrench to loosen the bleeder valve, attach the clear tubing over the nipple of the bleeder valve and put the other end in a bottle to catch the fluid.

Step 2: Ask your friend to pump the brake pedal three times, and then hold the pedal down as far as it will go. Your friend must hold it there until you say it's time to release it.

Step 3: Once your friend is holding the brake pedal in the completely pressed down position, turn the bleeder valve 1/4 turn. This will release the brake fluid and air. Only keep the valve open a second or two before closing it off again by tightening the screw. Your friend will feel the pedal go toward the floor of the car. Once the screw is closed, ask your friend to release the brake pedal. Repeat this bleeding process until there are no air bubbles in the fluid that is in the clear, plastic tubing.
