Need Help: Bleeding Brakes and Putting on Wheels

Hi all.

As some of you guys might know, I was doing my rear drum to disc conversion today. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to complete the whole conversion. I still need to bleed the brakes and get the wheels on. I was wondering if anyone is free to help me out tomorrow morning. I just want to get it out of the way and be on my way. I am currently located in Fremont and any help would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.

Thanks. I appreciate the offer. The only thing is that I need to get out of the Bay by 2:00. Need to be back in Davis by 5:00PM.

Sorry I wasn't able to stick around and finish that, but it was just getting too late for me.

Up by 7 to be there nice and early, and leaving there at 8:15 for a two hour drive home. It was a fun day.

How'd you finally get that right rear disc on??

I left that bottom adjuster thingie out. Right now, I just need the car to roll on all four wheels. My logic was that the parking brake is only used for parking. What I could do is just get everything on and then take the car to the shop during the week and have them tinker with it.

So... for the moment, I'll just avoid parking on hills and not doing any other ebrake related items like donuts, drifting, and ebrake turns.

Still need to bleed the brakes and get all 4 wheels on the ground. If anyone is available and is in the area, I would really appreciate the help.

Can anyone at least tell me how to bleed the brakes using a hand vacuum tool?
