Bleeding brakes


Our first "official" task on the bug. Since the brakes were basically mush on the drive home, we decided to bleed the brakes and hope we could make them a little more responsive (or at least make it good enough to last until we replace them). Screws which haven't been touched in 35 years are always fun to loosen. We managed to find out all 4 bleeder valves are corroded shut so we bled directly from the screws instead. Although not entirely fixed, we managed to make the brakes at least twice as responsive.
