Toad brakes
Greg: I have had M&G on three vehicles and only had to bleed brakes
on one because I had to sprice the lines. Most vehicles can accomodate the M&G air cylinder by just moving the master cylider and bending the brake lines. No bleed at all. Just have to set the length on the push rod. Just the opposite when you pull the air cylinder off and put the master cylinder back. No adjustment needed at that point. R.E.
