So it's back to bleeding the brakes again. Pull the lines out so there's no high spots and there's an "all up" run to the master cylinder. Connect the bleed contraption and wait.

This pic is a closeup of the starboard side of the master cylinder. The red thing is the screw cap covering the brake fluid reservoir.

Realizing that I'd need to do any remaining work at home, I removed the disk brake, gathered up the bits and headed for the shop. This is just a pic of the BSPT threaded hole in the disk brake. Had to clean it out as it was full of crap. Testing showed

Safety wired the bolts and check the installation. Pushed the aircraft and the brake stopped it. Held the brake and tried to push it aircraft. It wouldn't budge. Very good. Pulled it out of the hanger, started it up, let it warm properly and taxi tes

Went home and pulled a brake caliper off my Little Toot project. Brought it out to the hanger and the darn thing fits. So I have ordered a single puck version of the same brake caliper. When it arrives, it will go on and I'll replace the banjo hose end

2010 03 07 - Spent Saturday working on the new brake master cylinder from MDO in France. I have it about 75% installed. Ran into some hardware issues which are shown in later pics. This pic is an overview of the new master cylinder installed on the con

2010 06 06 - Made up an adaptor that fits the bleed and doesn't leak. Began to run fluid into the system. Went up to the master cylinder/reservoir to check on progress. Was I getting bubbles through the bit of fluid it put in back on the 3rd?

Here's a closeup of the hose end, bolt and washers. The hose end connector is identical to that which was on the master cylinder end so this should easily replace the 90 degree AN hose end provided. We'll know better later this week when I can get to th

After much flailing about which shall not be documented here, I went back to the double puck brake and spent a couple days trying to bleed the new system. Without much luck. I called Robby at Grove Aircraft and he pointed out that if there were any high
