RE: {Chrysler 300} Bleeding 300C brakes— adding fluid

[RON WATERS <ronbo97@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nope. Gravity bleed is the way to go. So simple. One person job. I had all four brakes done in an hour. Why complicate the process ? I always go with the simplest solution.

If I were working on Ray's 300C, the first thing I would do is lock the shoes to the drums so that the wheels could not move. Car, of course, is on jack stands with the wheels off the ground. Then I would step on the brakes. There should be zero pedal movement. If there is any movement, that signals that there is either an air leak or a bad master. This is a good place to start.

This describes reverse pressure bleeding, pushing the air from the wheels UP to the master along the lines of John’s thinking. What do you all think about this?
