Missing Bleeder
Had to replace the master and booster on my 76 F250 and now am attempting to bleed. The rear drums bled with ease. Now on to the front disks. Passenger side first ... but guess what? ... apparently no bleeder on this caliper ... but there is one on drivers side. The place where the bleeder should be on the passenger side caliper has a recess and seems like it might have a plug in it, perhaps with an allen socket. Hard to tell, as it is a bit corroded and full of dirt. Any suggestions as to how to bleed this one. I really don't want to buy a new caliper. Could I perhaps just loosen the brake line a bit and gravity bleed as I saw suggested in some other threads?

We are happy to have you! There is a ton of great info on this site. But, before you go snooping around there are a few things you need to do first.
1) Want to meet or talk to other members in your area? There are Provincial, State and International Chapters located near the bottom of the main forum page.
2) Before you post a thread asking a question be especially aware of where (what forum) to place it in. FTE is HUGE! Make sure you read the Read First: at the top of the forum before you go posting.
3) And finally you should review the Guidelines. They will kind of give you an idea of what is and isn't allowed on this site ("The Rules").
And that is it. I hope you enjoy the FTE "Experience"! This is a great place and we have lots of fun while exchanging valuable info. If you have any questions or problems do NOT hesitate to contact me. Just click my username then send me an email.
