I bought the drum with the bearings power packed and the rear seal allready installed. They even packed them with marine grease. Thanks for the heads up though

I had no idea that you could bleed the brakes like this. I will give it a shot tomm.

Gravity bleeding dosen't always work, it relies on the bleeder being at the absolute highest point in the wheel clyinder or brake caliper chamer, if ti is not you won't get all the air out. If you can gravity bleed em you are bet off to leave em open for a few hours atleast if not over night.

I agree, the best way to do it is with two people and pump the master.
