[T3] Brake Bleeding

[Keith Park]

Ya know, all this messing around with brakes, just replace ALL THE HOSES!
you will spend more time effort and money screwing around with questionable
rubber, they are cheap, they are critical safety items, and they take 5
minutes to replace, especially now that Jim has the correct RR ones, just
get all the old crap out of there and put some good rubber in the brakes.

I dont go nuts on "off with the old" very often, but with brake lines...
its a good idea.

In this case, that makes me pretty sure the problem must be with the 
hoses. Start with the front one that doesn't bleed; replace that hose 
with the hose you already have. If that fixes that wheel, then you 
can be pretty sure that your 2 rear hoses are having the same 
problem.

I carry both of those hoses. The LR is commonly available, but you 
won't find the correct RR anywhere else.
