Re: IML: eliminating air from DOT 5 brake fluid

[randalpark@xxxxxxx]

All of my cars have DOT 5. I have never heated the fluid before using 
it. To eliminate air bubbles, the bleeding procedures outlined in the 
FSM, using a glass jar containing some clean fluid and tube connected 
to the bleeder, works well. I have been told that any few remaining 
bubbles after the bleeding procedure will eventually work their way out 
of the system. I haven't had this problem.

Subject: IML: eliminating air from DOT 5 brake fluid

Hello all:

I read through the web-site regarding the pros & cons, tips & tricks, 
of DOT 5
brake fluid. I have replaced all lines, wheel cylinders, master 
cylinder, and
any other brake part possible, on my '65 300L (w/ Imp 440 - required 
content).
I am now going to hook everything up, use DOT 5, bench bleed the MC, 
and bleed
the brakes.

A note on the web-site suggests that DOT 5 has a tendency to get air 
bubbles. A
suggestion is to heat the fluid up prior to using to eliminate the air 
bubbles.

Here's the question: I'll assume I don't want to boil it - just a nice 
simmer?
... for 15 minutes? ... 30 minutes? ... until it reaches a certain 
temp? If
someone can offer insight, I would greatly appreciate it.
