M818 Brake System service

[Angry Iron]

I am in the process of Bobbing a M818. I am replacing the rear Brake lines and Hose. I was wondering if someone could point me in the direction on the TM, fluid type and bleeding procedure. The placards are painted over, it appears to be silicone fluid.

This might be a good starting point.

A lot if the tm's and lo's can be found under the "resources" tab at the top of this page. I'm not 100% sure which number the 5 ton service manual is, but most have descriptions.

Good luck!

Thanks found it on the old site and the task is pretty straight up a standard bleed with pressure bleeder or manual using silicone fluid.
