retromods

Hello, I'm new to the Mercedes world, I recently acquired a 1973 450SL, overall the car is in great shape but has been sitting in a garage for over a year, I've bled the front brakes with no problem but don't get anything out of the rear ones. I replaced the master cylinder but still nothing?? Can anyone give me some advise on what to do? This is the only problem keeping me from driving? Thanks

Nobody here has any advise on this problem???

Did you bench bleed the master cylinder or did you do it in the car?

retromods

bench bled it prior to install...

Should I leave the bleeders open and gravity bleed them??

RobertG

Yes , that's my prefered method.

retromods

OK, I'll try that...be back...

Any luck?

Yes, left the bleeders open for a couple days, noticed a small spot of fluid on the floor, bled them again starting with the passenger rear, worked great...she will stop on a dime! Thanks for the help, Tony
