deuce brake power bleeder questions...

[BFR]

What size are the threads for the vent line on a deuce MC cap?
( need to go buy the stuff to make a bleeder during lunch today)

Also, does anyone have a prefered order for a complete flush and bleed of the deuce brake system?

I have always been told when bleeding any vehicle you start furthest away form the master cylinder and work your way closer..........

So right rear, left rear, right middle, left middle, right front, left front?

Threads are 1/8" NPT. With a power bleeder the order isn't of that much concern

I seem to remember reading to start with the MC, then the airpack, and then the rear forward.

tjcouch is correct, thats the proper order for bleeding

All I know is that gimpyrobb drove three hours to rescue my truck when I was on the way to the paint shop, by bringing his speed bleeder, tools, clean clothes for me, and a great attitude. I had split a brake line and had to do a fix along the route. The process took about a half hour. The order that tjcouch indicates is proper. It's a great time to "re-install" fresh fluid. DOT 5 in my case. The purple was easy to watch for.

Could someone tell me the part number for the speed bleeders?

Its a home made item. No problem Bill, thats what this site is for. People helping others with the same affliction!

Speed bleeders and the power bleeder are 2 different items. You can buy speed bleeders by just knowing the thread pitch. Deuce wheel cylinders use 7/16x20 bleeders. For the power bleeder, here's how I did it.
