I will soon need to  pour some brake fluid into my RV-6A and, I presume, to bleed the brakes.  I've never done this on a car, let alone a plane.  Can some one direct me to a web page that explains the process?



Thanks,

No website, but my best advice would be to get someone from your local 

EAA chapter (you should already be a member!!!) to help you do it the 

first time.  It's easy to end up with spongy brakes.



Lacking that, the simple and best way is to use a squeeze-type oil can 

and force fluid through the bleed fitting on the brake cylinder.  An 

adapter with a short piece of hose on the master cylinder will allow you 

to catch overflow in a container.  Bleed one side, then the other.

There was a recent thread (yesterday) on Vans Air force about brake bleeding complete with pictures. Take a look and I think it will answer your questions.
