I now grease the threads of bleeder screws being careful not to get grease on the sealing tips. The grease helps to seal the threads when vacuum bleeding brakes. When the master cylinder is pushed past where it has been operating at the seals inside can be damaged from the rust, corrosion and it has a much greater chance of failing after bleeding. I had a snapon pressure bleeder with the adapters that I sold on flee bay, and I was glad to get rid of it. It does not matter if a small amount of air drawn in around the threads, the air does not get into the system. I never had any luck with a hand pump though, that is why I now use the ac. vacuum pump. The hand pump just did not create enough vacuum volume. I use to work for an REA Coop and I installed hydraulic drip prof male connectors inplace of the oil drain plug and sucked the oil into a 250 gallon old propane tank. It made changing the oil a simple job and never had to deal with the big pan of used oil again. Plus when the engine was at operating temperature the oil could be changed before it had a chance to settle out.

As someone who lives in the south eastern US, this truck is the stuff of nightmares. I've worked on Northern rusty cars before and its miserable. I'll take my clean TN all its life truck everyday of the week thank you.

I don't know if you made enough money on this job to be worth fooling with all that rust, but.................. it made a great video. We DIY'ers of the world learn a lot by watching you overcome issues that would have us calling a tow truck and sending it to the mechanic. It's nice to be able to see how the mechanic would get the job done. Thanks for bringing us along.

I think you do fine fine on the intro/ outro. For the intro show & tell the year/model and customer complaint. Outro recaps results and variances from plan. And any next steps. Thanks for sharing these projects.
