Brake bleeding Surrey/Hants/Berks area
« on: July 06, 2005, 22:53:07 »
Does anybody in my area have a vacuum brake bleeding facility, and would they be willing to loan me said equipment for some beer money later in the year?

I'd like to bleed the 101 brakes entirely (and replace the reservoirs) and need to decide whether to do it in Devon or whether it can wait until I've brought it back up here.

Thanks!

Have you thought about reverse bleeding the system up from the bottom, pushing the fluid through the bleed nipples furthest away, working forward, the best thing last time I did this was with a clear tube with a non return valve in it, and washing up liquid bottle

What about an ezi-bleed system, where the pressured fluid is pushed down the master resevoir, and open the bleed nipples until clear fluid comes out

Not every problem can be solved with duct tape, and it's exactly for those situations we have WD 40
