break bleeding

Postby Duke Peterson on Mon Sep 14, 2009 11:12 am

probably a dumb question but I want to bleed by breaks and there appears to be 2 bleeder nipples, which ones should i use? does it matter? do I need to do it with both? As always your advice would be greatly appreciated.
cheers

Have a look at baxters site or the turbonutter site, you can download the manual and it covers which one to use in there.

I'm at work at the moment or I'd check my copy.

If you need a hand give me a yell, I have had my share of brake delemmas and now have awesome stoppers!!!(there does seem to be a few tricks)
Plus I have to drop off a few tools that ended up in my box the other day!!

Cool
I can manage giving them a bleed no worries and hopefully that will sort them out, otherwise I might need a hand. Niva has now been painted all bits back on just need to sort the breaks and put the seats in and I'm on the road. Yeah think one of my air bits is still on your plasma cutter to?

one would think bleed the breaks should be a simple task. Rear right side went as expected. Rear left did not give up any fluid when loosened. Rounded the head off on the left upper nipple. Right upper nipple went as expected. Right lower nipple resulted in all pressure being lost. I re bled the right upper and got back some pressure. Breaks actually work ok after all that. However as I was bleed the break i noticed that only the right break light was working, they were both working fine before hand, after having bled the breaks I checked them again and only left one worked, any ideas?
