Re: how do you bleed the brakes

It's easier with 2 people, one pumping the brakes and one working with the caliper. Theres should be a nipple on your caliper somewhere, pump your brakes to build up the pressure and on the last pump hold them in while the other person loosens the nipple, the fluid should squirt out and the brake lever will give in. Keep the brake held in until the nipple is tightened back up so no air gets sucked in. Repeat this until the line is empty. Do the same thing to fill your line back up, you'll know its full and there is no air when the pressure is back to normal and the same amount of fluid comes out on every compression, also when refilling keep your resivoir full at all times if it empties out and air gets in the line you'll have to start over.

Good Luck

Re: how do you bleed the brakes

MITY-VAC is the ONLY way i will EVER do brakes from now on.
30$ or so at any car parts store.
hook up the nipple to the caliper bleeder
break the bleeder open
start sucking
keep resy full
i usually run 2-3 full resy's thru
tighten it all back up
put cap back on master
you now have brakes
