Good catch Steve. I did mean a thread chaser and not a tap, my bad. I realize like Tom said, there are different types/sizes of taps, but just to keep it simple here the chaser is the tool for the job.

Build yourself a power bleeder (lots of threads) and bleed at each wheel. Bleed the whole system, not just the wheel cylinders.

Figure #8, work package #75, in the 2320-361-24P manual. Hope this helps.

The only other thing I can think of that hasn't been covered, is be sure and chase all your female threads with a tap and lubricant. This will insure you get the most accurate reading when torquing down the headbolts. Also, a nice thin coat of oil on you fastener will help for more accurate...

The local Guard Armory brought some tracked and wheeled vehicles down to be shown. That was all it...

Very nice!
