[T2] 1971 bus brake hose

[ka1dza]

I am using a pressure bleeder. I'll see if I can find someone to help bleed them the old fashion way. I'm getting a bit of a weep on the vacuum end of the hose going to the reservoir. I'm going to disconnect and reconnect it first to make sure it's not sucking air.

Thanks to all for your comments and suggestions.
