| Seems a bit odd just to unbolt all the connections when it only takes a couple of minutes to bleed the system down!
After fitting the lines, try filling the system from the bleed nipple with a syringe, there by pushing all the air to the top (reservoir), which is the way it naturally wants to go.
Fitted a set of front lines to my zx last night in the time it took the misses to watch East Enders. |
