Bleeding Brakes With A Julie Lever

[Carl-H]

My bike has HS33 slaves but a Julie lever like this one:

I've looked at guides on bleeding and this doesn't have the bleed valve on the top like a hs33 lever. There's also not TPA but that doesn't bother me too much. I want a proper lever and master cylinder but funds don't allow yet lol.

And ideas on how to bleed this setup? Wouldn't mind trying a bath bleed to see if I like water? I watched revolvers guide but im thinking this will be a little different?

By the looks of it, it works like a normal hydraulic system with a resivoir.

So just fill the resivior, undo the bleed bolt on the slave, pull the lever in, tighten the bleed bolt, then release the lever.

And repeat until u get a good bleed

Bleed from the bottom up, with oil and a syringe. Take top cap off lever (T7 I think) to let fluid pour out, then re-fit cap. It's the 'wrong' lever for the slave cylinders but you should be able to make it work.

Ahhh thanks, so I can do it either of those ways then. One thing, why is it just a bolt and not a bleed screw on the slave cylinder :@ spose I just need that bit of tube and the right connection thing from tartys? Think it's about £2? I dont mind just annoying waiting for delivery and last time I checked they were on order too. Not to worry though just wanted to bleed em and get em proper when I grind my rim today or tomorrow. Thanks guys
