How do i bleed this?
dan3411:
Basically i replaced my slave cylinder on early disco one..but can't get a spanner on to the bleed nipple because the hydraulic pipe goes right over the top.. how else are you supposed to do it? buy a different pipe?
*note* i also have a leak where the hydraulic pipe threads into the slave cylinder... can i solve this with tefflon tape? or will brake fluid corrode through it.
andyb:
Personally I would be tempted to remake that pipe so that it was longer and use new ends in the hope of eliminating the leak.
It could be a dodgy thread in the cylinder, you may have cross threaded the pipe fitting or there could be some dirty in the cylinder where the pipe 'seats'. Either way take it apart and have a good look.

but surely landrover couldn't have been that stupid when they made this? :-.
don't know where to start on making one...
J B:
a gentle bend downwards should sort it
dan3411:
you know what that is a very logical thing to do... :shock:
