Wilwood 4 pot bleeding

[CageyJ0nnY]

This might be a silly question, but when bleeding the wilwood 4 pot kit do you use the larger gold coloured nipple or the smaller black coloured one?

I was just a tad confused and hoped someone could help

Cheers

That black one

 

[Fred@BTM]

imperial size too IIRC stupid yanks!

 

[Mr R.]

Im used to it, old Astons are the same.

 

[Jaff.]

Is there no crossover pipe on the wilwoods?

 

[Mr R.]

If not then he will have to bleed the inside 1st then the outside.

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Jesus, the Black is what? 6mm? Yeah I thought I was going to have to bleed the inside first then the outside.

 

[Mr R.]

I think its so that you dont damage the caliper, good idear tbh.

It will be 1/4 or something like that, anyway its a AF size.

Is there a decent chance of my mechanic having the correct spanner do you reckon?

I've got one that fits at home, would you like me to look at the size for you tomorrow night?

 

[CageyJ0nnY]

Yeah that would be great cheers

4BA I have written on my spanner, whatever that means. Lol

Really you need 2 spanners one to hold the gold part 7/16 and a 1/4 for the nipple.

They are also a b**ch to bleed, I ended bleeding the hold reservoir. If you notice you pads wear like a wedge this means they are not bled enough.
