Love the light evenings, and a gap in the rain, so whipped the front wheels off and carried on working through the problems.
As feared, could not shift the last bleed nipple on the offside right. BUT was able to bleed partially through the supply union, ok you cant see air bubbles and you have brake fluid just running onto the drive way, but it is allowing all but the last tiny piece of fluid to be bled, so it's doing something.
Noticed that the front wheels where a bit TOO free, not sure now if I had adjusted them properly in the first place, so sorted that out and now I am getting braking force on the first push of the brake pedal.
Will re-check the rears, because I didnt really look at that, was too focussed on bleeding.
But optimisitic nearly there with the brakes. Must remember to put split pin back in the push rod!!
Will need new shoe linings on the front at least, as all the locking up has taken it's toll!
