bignum Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 I use 1 of those easy bleed kits but had to modify the reservoir cap to fit, then pressurise the system with a spare tyre and bleed away,,,,,, easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukApache Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 start at the near side rear, then off side rear, then near side front & off side front. also dont let the reservoir go below the lower limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyT Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 perfect ! thanks Col One more thing .....how much brake fluid should i buy ? Think capacity is quoted as 1.5 litres. So buy 2 litres. Dot 5.1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukApache Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 for a complete flush i'd def have 2L to hand but you'd prob only use just over 1L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
