Pictreed Posted December 2, 2016 Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 I think the fluid is low on my E model. The brake on the right main is mushy and my instructor believes the flaps aren't deploying all the way. What kind does it take? This weekend I'll trace the lines and see where it's going. I have a good idea it's leaking some from the parking brake valve. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictreed Posted December 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2016 Thanks for the quick response. I was able to pick it up this morning. A good friend is loaning me a hand pump to pump it in from the caliper location to expel any air. I just need someone to keep an eye on the resivoir. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim MIL H-5606. but Royco 23282 is better because it doesn't get all gooey and it's basically nonflammable. it's also miscible in any percentage with 5606 Edited December 2, 2016 by jetdriven 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id get a hose barb fitting for the fill hole on the res or do what I did. just clamp a small tube to the overflow vent. when done open the res with a lot of rags to catch the overfill.

Pictreed Posted December 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 I haven't looked at the books but it should be this guy. Seems to be leaking at the parking brake valve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N201MKTurbo Posted December 3, 2016 Report Share Posted December 3, 2016 The parking brake valve has two o rings. It is easy to reseal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
