Brakes problem
1976 Jeep CJ5 Four Wheel Drive Manual

Iv been told that there is air in my brake lines. I know that I need top bleed them, or get the air out. Only problem is that I dont know how to do that. So if anyone knows how to do that, please help me out I would like to do it myself only because Im assuming the its cheaper to do it my self.

Not knowing which brake system you have, I sent several. When opening the bleeders, BE VERY CAREFUL not to break one off. Use a 3/8 breacer bar with the appropriate size "6" point socket and try to rock the bleeder back and forth until it comes loose. If you break the bleeder off, you open up a whole new can of worms. Good luck. Also, as you're bleeding the brakes don't let the master cylinder run dry, or you'll have to start all over again.
