Mowgli Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 just take the bleed bolt out the lever and the one off the slave and submerge it, flick the pipes etc to help air to come out. put the bolts back in under the water to ensure no air gets in.more detail if u search for topics.Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale-Hill Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 * Fill the bucket or the bath full of water. * Take the brake off of your bike and put it in the bucket/bath. * Undo both bleed bolts, the one on the lever and the one on the slave. (Underwater) * The method is tricky at first, but once you have the rhythm, it will take a minute at maximum. * Underwater: hold your finger over the hole on the slave cylinder (remember, when you have your finger on the hole, make sure it is tight and sealed against the hole, other wise it will take longer to bleed and may effect performance), press the lever all the way down, then hold your finger over the hole on the lever body, take your finger off the hole on the slave cylinder and release the lever fully, repeat until you no longer see any air coming out. * Do up both of the bleed bolts. (Again, underwater) * Take the brake out and it should be air free.Thats all i have done to mine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewis-mackenzie Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 (edited) there is a much easyer way.if you take off your lever and take the pistoney spring think out and pour the water in.then put the pistony thing in and pump it a few times and then loosen the bleed thing from the lever and pump it a bit more then tot the resivour up (if you need to) then put it all back together and your sorted :Dhope it helps Edited September 7, 2008 by lewis-mackenzie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
