After so much trouble bleeding brakes I would like to share how easy it is. You will need 3 pair of vise grips, and a wrench for your bleeder. First off adjust brakes in the drum. Second clamp off close to your master cylinder and squeeze a few times to make sure your master cylinder is still good. If you have pressure, move down the brake line and clamp off before the T, then release the first clamp next to reservoir. Now you have two clamps left. Clamp the line on the right side and the left side next close to the T. Now go ahead and pump. Make sure to pump them slow. It should stiffin pretty quick. This will get most of the air out of the main line. Take the clamp off the main line and move next to the right drum on the line. Give it a pump. It should still be stiff. If so take the left clamp off. Now you will get a little spongy. Pump up til stiff, hold, and release the air through left bleeder. Keep an eye on your fluid so you don’t run it dry. Make sure to tighten back before letting off brake. Repeat until brakes are holding tight. Now clamp back at the T on left side and remove clamp at T on right side. Pump til stiff then remove the clamp on right side next to drum. More than likely back to spongy. Pump them up until stiff, bleed and repeat until holding steady. Clamp back off next to drum and remove the other and pump. Bleed. Repeat. Clamp. Move back to other side. Pump. Bleed. Repeat. Now remove all clamps. Pump and bleed one side at a time. Do this a few times to be sure you have gotten all the air out. Now you should have good brakes. What this does is bleeds one side at a time, eliminating the air traveling to the other side while you are bleeding. It also puts more pressure on one side at a time pushing more air out.
