Re: Bleeding Replacement Master Cylinder

I had trouble finding wheel studs that would fit. Even the ones from the Chevrolet dealership, GM# 9595178, had a knurl diameter that was too small. Eventually, one of the Advanced Auto stores allowed me to climb a ladder with my vernier calipers and search through their boxes. The ones I found didn't match in the coarseness of the knurl, but so what? But they used the same lug nut and worked.
Once I got the wheel with all the studs together, I returned to the brakes. I was previously working the brakes when the missing studs forced me to change my focus. Previously, after a partial bleed, the front was working, but the back wheels didn't even get fluid to them when I tried to bleed. Now, after leaving the brake project for a couple of days, I discovered the fluid was gone. I then found a leak that had eluded me before. The picture attached has the left side of the van on top. I need to replace the brake line.
The metal lines are going to require a few bends. I sent away for a 3/16" kit https://qrcd.org/3db0
