    I'm working on my brake system that I had working at one point. It's a 47 Chevy coupe with the master under the floor. A few weeks back while checking for new tire and rims clearance I broke the brake line by the banjo on each front wheel. Issue was when the steering was turned hard left and right the brake line was pushed in to the spring. I would lower the car and the spring would brake the fitting. I'm glad I caught this issue before the car was on the road. Took me about about a week to order and replace.

    I no longer get air when bleeding. I do have to pump for a firm pedal unlike before.

    Assuming I still have air in the system. Would it be wise to bench bleed the master again? should I get a vacuum bleeder?
