Bleeding Brakes..

[Andy_J]

I have some new discs, lines, pads and fluid to fit (thanks to yozzasort) and want someone to clarify a few things:

nipples 8mm spanner?
lines 11mm spanner?

bleeding ABS:

front left
front right
rear let
rear right

is that correct?

Anything else i need to know..?

what size of hose do i need to fit over the nipple? 8mm id?

 

[Fred@BTM]

yep, 8mm for nipps, 11mm for lines (you'll need a 13/14mm also)

bleed sequence seems fine, go and buy an eazi bleed kit for a motorfactors

perfect mate, just wanted to clarify that..

I've never bled brakes before but i work with hydraulics a LOT at work so i guess it's the same deal.


Oh, how do i empty the system? split the hoses and pump the brakes?

We're about to do this on the 4 pots! lol! Can't wait!

DO NOT drain the system, just bleed it through
