Hi all,

Got around to replacing master cylinder on my 75 SB...and that went fine...except for trying to shove a new hose into the hard brake lines feeding into the top of the MC.

Any tips on fitting hoses over hard lines?

Also, found out that my rear passenger has a sheared off bleeder valve nipple and nut. It's nowhere to be found and is sheared off flush with the back plate.

Do I need to replace the valve? Is it recommended? If so, how do to it?

Thanks muchly!

You can probably get away with not bleeding that wheel; it's unlikely that air got in. Bleed from the other side first. In a pinch, loosen the steel line at the wheel cyl.
