![]() ![]() for now ill just explain that i drill and tap (2) 1/4" pipe holes in the bottom cap of the pvc. The next time i put in a new system il send a pic. i just installed a new system on my boat, and got a friend to help with the bleed. you should close the bleeder pretty snug, and just wipe off any spillage, there should not be any leaks. connect a clear rubber hose to the top of the bleeder (lets you see when you get the air out) and run it to a clean bottle to catch the fluid. You got it right on were the bleeder is, but the fluid will come out the hole in the top, not from the threads. There is no better place for help than on scream and fly!! Craig :thumbsup: So if I take a wrench and just crack open the bleeder then the air/fluid will come out from under the threads, right? I'll try the different approaches from all the advice so far here and by the way, it is greatly appreciated. I suppose that is what the power bleeder is for. These bleeders look like fittings that would take a female fitting like on a air compressor hose. I pulled the black rubber protective caps off and the fittings were oily. ![]() The only oily residue I found was at the bleeders themselves. I checked for leaks under the dash and around the hoses fore and aft but found nothing. Like a dummy, I just went out and ran it and was happy. Again, it bothers me that the fluid level appears to be lower than specified in the book but I don't remember what it was when first installed. At this point I will need to wait til I get the hydraulic fluid in the mail and then get at it. I doubt that anyone around my neck of the woods would have such a thing. ![]() I saw a video on line about the power bleeder and looks pretty neat. ![]()
