RE: [Chrysler300] Bleeding brakes on the 59 300E ...............................

This is fun Jack.

As we both know I am the proud owner of the Tango Red 55 300 your dad mechanically restored before selling to us many years ago (4/4/89 to be exact).

I am very confident he bled the brakes as you stated--because it is the correct way to do it-even in my opinion.

BUT--I know he did it with Silicone Fluid.  He even gave me the remains of a can of it.  Can probably even find it written in the records I got from him if I were to go digging.  It and our 50 Royal Woodie are the only vehicles in our fleet with silicone in them.

Have to admit I don't know what a displacement M/C is through but I know ours is correct and the same as all of my other 55's except for the Windsor with manual/standard brakes.

Now---you better watch out what you say about silicone in 55's!! 

Keith may have to rise up and tell you off-or tell me to change the stuff out now.  And I don't want to change the stuff out!

Sorry Jack--just had to send this in!  Amazingly I still have only one rebuilt engine which wasn't rebuilt by Keith.  Probably have a few that could use his efforts though but not worrying about them since he isn't available.

Regards

Terry

My dad was a trained Chrysler tech from 1949 to 1961. He said to start at the M/C, then the furthest from the M/C and work your way back to the M/C. If you don’t do the M/C first you are likely pumping some air and wasting time, strokes and fluid.

 

I am working on an article for the Club about DOT 5 fluid. At this point it will likely say that DOT 5 “can” be used in all 300’s except 1955 because of the one year only “displacement” M/C.

 

I hope to have this done in a few weeks.  Standby.

I was always taught to start furthest away from master cylinder and work back towards it.

Are you sure of the order for Bleeding the Brakes, I thought it was closest to farthest. LF, RF, RR then LR. This is how I remember it anyway, Also, make sure the MC does not run out of fluid during the project, no matter what order you do it. Good Luck.

Hi all:

 

I like many of the suggestions offered by members.  I have a device that you attach to the bleeder plug and it provides a vacuum as you work the handle.  Brake fluid is caught in a small bottle which comes with the kit.  No need for a second person to operate the pedal.  Just hook up the vacuum and pump.  When the clear hose runs without bubbles tighten the bleeder and go to the next wheel.  But make sure the reservoir does not run dry!  The order of bleeding is the same as recommended, i.e., RR, LR, RF, LF.  The device is called Mityvac.  The model number is MV8020 Brake Bleeding Kit.  I believe I purchased it at one of the local auto parts stores.

 

I use this method on all my cars and have never had a problem with excess pedal travel.
