1995 Mercury Villager - Bleeding the Brakes?

If it is leaking from the middle of the vehicle, then bleeding them won't fix anything. You have a leak in the fluid line. Bleeding them will be a very temporary fix. You need to get a new brake line. This is a cheap fix. You can even locate the leak and cut that part of the line and get a repair hose and 2 hose clamps from auto zone. But if you do that be extra careful because the gas lines run alongside the brake lines. If you do get the repair hose and clamp you will still need to bleed the brakes. Its really easy. all you need is a jack and a small wrench. on autozone .com they give instructions on bleeding brakes and even have pics

Timing chains do not break. They are literally stronger than the crankshaft or any other part you can name. Even on Top Fuel cars a crankshaft will fail before a timing chain. What happens is the teeth on the camshaft timing gear wear down and the chain just slides over the gear when you crank the motor. All you need to do is replace the timing set which comes as two gears and one chain. You might also consider pulling the oil pan to clean out the residure but this is not absolutely necessary. Good Luck!

you have to replace line first. then worry about bleeding. and you need to bleed at each wheel not center of van.what he is talking about is when you try to bleed at wheels bleeder will break off a lot of the time and you have to replace wheel cylinders. but if you replace them and the line your self it is not that expensive 50 to 75 bucks for parts.
