Bleeding Brakes on a Amphicar

[james reed]

The resevoir went dry and is there a place where I can find out the correct way and sequence to bleed the brakes? Thanks

James,

Welcome. Here is an earlier post that might be helpful. I also highly recommend a motiv pressure bleeder.

For future reference, always start with forum search as it is often quickest way to find answer. If you have additional questions, you will find lots of folks willing to help.

Also, as with any car. Start with the wheel farthest from Master cylinder first. Work your way to the closest. You also need to figure out why you lost the fluid to begin with.

Here is the pressure bleeder I mentioned. This thing makes bleeding brakes almost fun, definitely becomes a one man job and easily overcomes any air in the system. Very popular on the Porsche forums.

This version will cover almost any car.
