Bleeding and then adjusting, need to re-bleed?



Hi guys,

I'm due to upgrade the fronts (discs, pads, lines) tomorrow and this is also my first time fiddling with anything brake releated or even bleeding brakes.

I'm confident in the bleeding process but wasn't sure if you were to fit the upgrades and then bleed, then say I take it for a test drive/bedding in, discover it's squealing/not quite right and needs something tweaking. So I take the caliper apart, fix the problem and re-assemble.

Will I need to re-bleed each courner again slightly? or will it be fine to just re-assemble and then re-test?

Sounds like a stupid question but no harm in asking!

Thanks

You have to fit the the new parts 1st. then bleed last. Tip- if you undo the flexi pipe from the the wheel arch mount 1st you will be left with a flared pipe end, take the small rubber cap of the bleed nipple on the caliper and press it on to the flared brake pipe end and that will stop the flow off brake fluid while you work on the brakes.
