How do you bleed brakes on air over hydraulic system on a 1990 Mitsubishi fuso fk model box truck?
To bleed the brakes on a 1990 Mitsubishi Fuso FK with an air-over-hydraulic system, start by ensuring the vehicle is on a level surface and the air system is charged. Begin by locating the bleeder valves on the brake calipers, usually at the top. Have a helper press the brake pedal while you open each bleeder valve, allowing air and fluid to escape until a steady stream of fluid flows out; then close the valve before releasing the pedal. Repeat this process on each brake, working from the furthest wheel from the master cylinder to the closest, ensuring the master cylinder is kept topped off with brake fluid throughout the procedure.

To change the brake fluid on a Yamaha 950, start by securing the motorcycle and removing any necessary body panels to access the brake master cylinder and calipers. Use a wrench to open the bleeder valve on the caliper and have a container ready to catch the old fluid. Pump the brake lever to expel the old fluid, ensuring to keep the master cylinder reservoir topped up with new brake fluid to prevent air from entering the system. Once the fluid runs clear, close the bleeder valve, refill the master cylinder, and check your brakes for proper function before reassembling any panels.

Why 96 dodge sport van pull to the left?
Normally a front brake issue, could be an alignment, suspension or tire issue. Check that all suspension parts are in good condition and all connections are tight and that there's no obvious misalignment or disproportionate wear of the front tires. Next, check that front left caliper is not sticking closed and that front right caliper is not sticking open. If calipers are working, try replacing the brake hoses to the calipers, normally the opposite side to the direction it's pulling will be collapsed causing the 'offside' caliper to not close.
