bleeding 4 pots

[ben_p]

my willwoods have two bleed nips per calliper. do i do one at a time? there is only one line is so it must remove all the air from the line on the first nip?

Bleeding nipples is never fun..

One at a time for each side of the caliper.

Lol! I had the same problem last weekend and still got air in the brakes. I would say if you got two top ones then do one at a time otherwise do the top one. I had to hold the pipe with one hand and undo the nut with the other hand so impossible to do two at once

you do the inner nip 1st then the outa one

 

[avstar1]

^^^ whys that then? explain pls

 

[LeeP86]

cos if you do the outa one 1st then if there is air in the inner it may get pushed to the outa after youve already bled it

The willwoods iirc have a nipple on the outside top and bottom.

If that is what you are talking about, just bleed out of the top one; I think you might have a job getting any air out of the bottom one

If it is indeed one each side at the top then please disregard the above

no its as you describe

why wont i get it out the bottom?

looks too me as if the calipers arnt sided so they got two bleed nipples, if they onli had one nipple and it was fixed to one side of the vehicle the nipple on the other caliper would be on the bottom of the other caliper.
:quiet: if you get what im sayin lol i think i made it sound complex

you wont get any air from the bottom iirc as the air in the caliper rises to the top of the fluid so if you bleed the bottom you shound just get fluid

Erm air rises in fluids mostly! lol. I'd bleed the top first then give the bottom a few pumps too just to be sure.

yep its because they are universal application can go on either the front or the back of the hub - ie if you only had one nipple at one end and you fitted it on the back of the hub the nipple would be pointing down - and as has been said air rises in fluids so you would get no air out.
