I've got all the TMs, but nothing replaces first hand experience...
My new 816 has an EXTREMELY low pedal. It stops about an inch (or less) above the floor so I'm assuming it's either REALLY low on fluid or needs to be bled.
Is bleeding the brakes on the 5 tons the same as anything else, or do I need to watch out for anything in particular since they are air over hydro?
Also, I don't have any Mil-spec silicone brake fluid, is there anything I can use as a substitute or should I just order it from a supplier and wait for it to arrive? Any suggestions on how much I should buy to properly bleed the system?
Thanks,
Joe
