Funny this came up in my search for dealing with these. I have that Cruiser now (BJ73) and am confounded on bleeding these calipers - 4 bleeders per caliper and you can not get a wrench on them. And since two of the bleeders are pointing to the sky they are packed with dirt. Lovely.
There is no reason to crack the bottom bleeders. I know to bleed the inboard bleeder first. An 8mm socket fits but one can not put a hose on the bleeder and open/close it. I did it by packing rags all around and just spilling dot 3 everywhere. What an absolutely stupid design.
Now I am searching for pads and have no idea what part number to search from SSBC.
