brake bleedin' question

[SlickKipper]

I bled the rear brakes using the "gravity" method described in the tech library, and that went fine, but now I'm workin' on the fronts and when I loosen the valve on the passenger side no juice comes out. Do I need to use a vacuume pump or somethin?

The speed bleaders are great but for now check for a blockage in the valve.

irbob,
Should I stick a needle in there or something, or remove the whole valve?

[millerlo]

Speed Bleeder does not list the Grand Wagoneer but lists a Grand Cherokee, those part numbers would be correct for use, wouldn't they?

[irbob]

It will be better to remove it and clean it out. If you stick a needle in there it may not get the gunk out that is causing the blockage.

millerflo...I would bet they are the same.....the brake system is the same...

Just did my whole system... the front bleeders were clogged up, so I cleaned them out. I used the mighty vac vacuum bleeder kit... AWESOME kit for $39... I flushed all the old crap out and my brake are twice as good now.... flushed 3 qts thru the entire system to make sure it was clean.

When I did my brake overhaul I bought new bleeder screws. For $.79 it is easier than trying to clean them out.
