« on: February 03, 2008, 19:37:26 »
Hiya

Going to change the pads in the 90 tomorrow..

I filled up the fuild reservoir last month.

When i push the pistons it will [throw it] everywhere..

Whats the best way of getting a bit out?

Use a clean turkey baster to suck it out of the reservoir - just don't stick it back in the kitchen drawer :lol:

Open the bleed nipple as you push the pistons back in.  You might find that the brakes need bleeding once you've replaced the pads too.
