Brake bleeding

[Andrew135]

Needing a little help on how to bleed the brakes on my trophy. The pedal is really soft is there a order that I need to do them in?

Yes furthest away from the brake fluid cap first , so ns rear, then ns front, os rear, os front. I think that's the correct order. Some people argue there is no benefit to sticking to this order but it's up to you.

A 1 man ezibleed kit will help you too

I always stick the above rule when bleeding brakes. Piece of pipe on the bleed nipple with the other end submerged in brake fluid in an old bottle or jar.. air comes out but cant go back in.

Halfords Ezebleed kit is the best, only £5

Supposedly you bleed furthest first as you flush most of the old fluid first go, means you are not pushing the old fluid through the system.

Well I bled the system and no air bubbles came out. The pedal is still soft, I've spoke to a couple people and they have said that it could be the seals inside the servo that have gone as the rubber seals on the master cylinder had swelled up causing the reservoir to come away from the master cylinder. Could this be the case and does anyone no what it's like to get the servo out?

with the engine off is the brake pedal hard?
if you pump the pedal with the engine running dos it get better?
with the engine running if you put the handbrake on dos the pedal get better?

do you have 4 brake claps if so clamp off all 4 flexi hoses see if that gives a better pedal.
