ben Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 right iv done plenty of syringe bleeds before but iv recently gone to uni and like a real winner i forgot my bleed hoseing. so iv been trying to bleed my break in my sink and i keep on doing the worst bleeds ever. i thought that it might be my sink is small so its hard to keep the hosing below the bleed holes. or if the systems realy empty do sink bleeds not work? its almost certain im doing somthing wrong so heres what im doing.1.fill my sink2.put the break in and take out the bleed screws3.push the lever down then cover the masters bleed hole with my finger as i release it4. do this antil no bubbles come out5.do my bolts up6.cry about how bad at sink bleeds i amthanks for any helpben.

anzo Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Try...Shaking the brake when its underwater, this will release any trapped air.Ensure the TPA is all the way out, otherwise it won't work at all.Pump the lever a hell of a lot to force the water in, and the air out.

ben Posted October 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 i did give it a good old shacking i think as the sinks so small it is just getting trapped in the hosing and no amount of pumpings gonna help. think its time to by a new bleed kit thanks for the help though.ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egg Fried Rice Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 if you've forgotten the hose then you must have the syringe right?use that under water and fill it up with water and fire it through the bleed holes. if you dont have the syringe, then you must cover one hole and then cover the other.JK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 Nooo, dont buy a bleed kit, waste of time and money.Fully dismantle the brake in the bath, and rebuild it. Thats how I usually do it anyway and it works fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex.loves.boys Posted October 22, 2006 Report Share Posted October 22, 2006 your doing it wrong.1. fill sink2.remove bleed screws3.pump lever a few times now cover the whole on the lever, pull the lever right the way in, then take your finger of and then let go of the lever.do this 5-6 timesthen put the screws back in.lever screw first then the one on the piston.also make sure you TPA is wound off all the way.post back if that didn't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
