[T2] 1971 bus brake hose

[Snoopy]

How are you bleeding the brakes?   

I had a similar issue last week.  My pressure bleeder wasn't helping so I went back the basics

Put the bleeder wrench on the bleeder. Fill a clear plastic bottle about a quarter full with brake fluid.  Run a clear hose from the bleeder to the bottom of the bottle.   Make sure it is tight on the bleeder.  Loosen bleeder and then pump brakes.  

Adjust your mirrors and you can pump the brakes and watch the bottle to see if bubbles are coming out, leave the bottle on the outside of the wheel and you can see it.  I did this a couple weeks ago. 

I didn't have a helper and it worked out.  If you do have a helper. Pump the brakes up before loosening the bleeder but then pump at will

Don't forget to make sure the reservoir stays full. Check often 


  My issue ended up being a clogged brake cylinder. 

I hope this helps you or someone else.
