| Jools I reckon I must be Ya Man on back brakes having replace mine twice in a month. Bleeding I found to be a pain until.
First prime /bleed the master cylinder by releasing the actual brake hose, take it of completely. pump the lever with you finger over the hose hole feeling the pressure build up as the air is forcedout.Tighten up the hose to the cylinder once its primed. Next thing is to clear the air from the hose itself. Slowly slowly catch a monkey pump down on the lever to push out the air in the hose ,hose should now be free at the caliper end. Top up the fluid ressy as reguired, once the fluid comes out the end of the hose thats then full. The caliper I found a pain as well as its at the lowest level ,so I took of the caliper and raised it, cause air rises as we all learnt at school. Having raised the caliper it was easy to bleed it in the usual way. Pump, bleed, close valve etc: So now my brakes are as good as before apart from changing the Disc when it arrives from Ducati Coventry. Sounds a bit long winded but it works for me (Which an't saying much) 4D  |
