chrisbikefix Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 i find bleeding your brakes with water is alot easier doing it in the sink. This way you can get shot off all the air from the system, good luck my friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrAsHeR Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Yep bleeding your brake in the sink is really easy only takes a min but also air free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@banbury-trials Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 i find using a seringe from a bleed kit is usefull when bleeding in a sink,it'll blast all the crap out the system allowing easyer bleeds.steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clownbike Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 Ok i'm trying to get out of doing any work, so i'll TRY and give some help.1) Undo the allen key bolt on the slave2) Unscrew the lever body from the hose.3) Pump the lever body under water (10 times), when underwater take out the lil "grub" screw, pump (10 times) and then put it back in and pump (10 times) - Don't do it 11 times or it will break! Keep it in the water4) Suck the hose with the slaves, making sure the slaves are under water. Repeat this for 1 min. Keep sucking and then screw the allen key bolt into the submerged slave, then the openend hose in the sink/bucket with the slaves.5) Connect lever body to the hose under water, tighten all bolts and you are away!Hope this helped.
