Packard Forum Index » V-8 (1955-56)

The only thing that comes to mind is to blow some compressed air through the brake lines and hoses. Disconnect the hoses from the front wheel cylinders and from the rear axle junction. If the air flows freely, then so should the fluid. Since you have the T/V removed you will need to bleed the brakes anyways so a little more air in the system won't matter. Brian

Having the BTV already removed, I would rebuild the unit to be on the safe side. Using Ross'https://www.packardinfo.com/xoops/html/downloads/BTV_Rebuild.pdf. it's not too complicated - even I managed to do it.
