Anybody know of a step by step webpage that shows how to bleed the brakes on my 66. I have the Granada disc in the front. As my name says, I am a newbie to all this but eager to learn. I was told by the PO that he put on a new power booster and master cylinder but I think there might be air in the lines because the brakes are a little spongy and it pulls to the left when I break hard....

here's your step by step:

you can jack it up and take one wheel off at a time, or just put it in the air and pull all of them off (easier in my opinion).

consider getting one of those $5 brake bleeding buckets/hose at autozone/oreilly's etc. makes the job easier.

make sure fluid is topped off in the master cylinder before you start.

have a buddy hop in the driver's seat and you go to the brake furthest from the MC (this would be the right rear). have you friend pump the pedal 3 times and press on it. hook up your hose and bucket, and loosen the bleeder valve. you'll see fluid and probably air come out. make SURE your friend doesn't let up on the pedal. once no more fluid is draining, tighten the valve and have your friend pump it up again.

repeat this for as long as is necessary to either A. get all the air out of THAT line or B. get clean fluid. make sure to top off the master cylinder from time to time with new fluid.

once you're done with that wheel, go to the left rear, then the right front, then finally the driver's front.

easy, quick, simple.
