Louis p Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 (edited) use a seringe and half a crosser pipe with a barb in one end.screw this barb into the hole next to the hose on the lever body and keep pumping water through the brake with the seringe but remember to pump the brake at the same time, and also do it all under water.doing this should make your brake work mint louis ...

dave85 Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Get the whole lot as you had it before, but have your finger close to the hole in the slave cylinder (pad movey bit). When you press the lever in, let air come out, before you let the lever go put your finger over the hole, then let the lever out. Repeat till air stops coming out.

Phil H Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 And think yourself lucky I was nice enough to let you use my spare cross over! hahaPhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radfax Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 do you have any other substances come out of the slave cylender when you pump the lever?when i first tried bleeding my brake in the bath loads of white crap came out want air, just a horrible flem like substance! Not to sure what it was but anyway, i let all of the air out and i was pumping the lever for a fair time and this stuf kept coming so i thought it was usual but i then found i had to pump the lot out, even the tiniest of bubbles so just keep pumping that lever and it will all be good!
