Re: {Chrysler 300} Bleeder 57 chrysler



two key issues, if using silicone fluid and  you should be, I would worry  about the agitation of pressure bleeders getting air in it. It tajes  six  months sitting still in can for  it to get out .
 Anyone who says silicone causes a soft pedal  has caused their own problem . you cannot even pour it into master , that makes bubbles . you can  use a  trough like deal to slowly add it . And manual bleeding works perfectly  in slow small steps . I do not think you save  much time net of screwing with fitting a pressure bleeder and you rusk air with silicone 
With Ron on that .
Second after many tomes early on
with silicone still getting soft pedal etc after multiple bleeding sessions , decided to think about it carefully . 
Air will always rise up  , — so (under slight pressure ) crack the fittings highest up on any given line after a few days sitting ,,especially highest point at rear axle , and fronts at frame if line routing makes an inverted U .
if restoring  you might slightly reroute lines so air can go up into master or fitting and out . In that regard  , pre bleeding  master  seems  a waste of time it cannot “ trap air” due to physics of it .I do not do it , best you can say it does no harm  A ritual , like leaving fluid in moonlight ( hey it always worked  for me ) 
It is made to let air out every  time you stroke it ..  … why you see the little jets 

However on some cars they coil the lines ,  unbelievably the coil  often has a horizontal axis , all the upper loops will hold air (!!) Dumb , factory or not. 
if coiling lines , make  axis vertical like  a still for the same  reasons , so sir can rise and get out via master.

Ymmv , avoid experts  whose advice makes no sense to you

Much easier and quicker for me to do 6 wheel cylinders with the pressure bleeder.

No need for fancy equipment or even pressure bleeders. I’ve done gravity bleeding on multiple cars. Works great. One person operation. Just be sure that fluid remains in the master cylinder. Replenish frequently. Once you do the initial RR cylinder, the other cylinders will bleed pretty quickly.

To all

 

  Mechanic working on the C came across this while looking for best way to bleed brakes.

 

Curious if anyone has one and their opinion vs good old one guy pumps the pedal while other does the real work.

 

Thanks to all the great folks in letter car land.
