Holding the pedal to the floor stops any forward flow of all remaining
fluid:Crack the bleader, run a hose from bleader to catch the bleed-off,push
the peddle to the floor and secure it in the down position position..Now when
the caliper, slave cylinder is removed no fluid will flow from the master
cylinder.

Bleeding brakes> "Hard to get to tucked away under the instrument panel. I
wrap a ragaround the master cylinder to help catch the overflow."I can't
imagine anyone building a KR these days would build the fuel tankper plans - as
part of the structure and non-removable. A KR-2 with it'sextra width (compared
to a KR-1 or 1?) would make it a little easier toget underneath but certainly
no fun. It actually makes me feel nauseausto get my head underneath a panel
with my legs sticking up out of thecockpit. Had to do it recently with another
plane and reminded me howglad I am to have a removable header tank. Re using a
pump to bleed brakes. . . seems to me any residue in the lineswould just get
pumped back up into the system unless you let it drainfirst. I let mine drain
while filling it from the reservoir(s), beingcareful not to let any air in.
When I see fresh fluid coming out Itighten the bleeder nut. I do that with all
vehicles, not just the KR. It's just another way of doing it and doesn't
require a
pump.MikeKSEE____________________________________________________________American
