tips for bleeding brakes

(1/2) > >>

Rob110:
hi,

Im fitting some extended brake hoses next weekend and have been told its a horrible job, ive already cleaned all bolts and put on some plus gas so hopefully it will all come apart.

on the front calipers there are two hoses and 3 bleeds each and on the back there are one hose and one bleed each

are there any tips for bleeding the whole system after i fit the new hoses?

ps i could only see one bleed on the rear caliper, is that right?

thanks for any help

I will give one piece of advice.  Spend £15 and buy an EeziBleed kit from Halfrauds (its the proper eezibleed kit not the halfords clear bottle with a pipe) it will save you hours of bleeding!  It used air from your spare wheel to pressurise and push the liquid and air through, so you dont have anyone pumping brakes, just attach the eezibleed and then go round in the correct sequence undoing the bleed screws!

denviks:
gotta 100% agree. ezibleed kit is worth every penny spent. makes life soooo much ezier :wink:

jiffyman:
Heard about them, they sound the best bet!

Bulli:
They work well, but arent the best...miti vac are far better...no pumping the pedal or any of that stuff...just watch the reservoir as it drags fluid through like lightning!!
