I don't understand how it works but it did.
Just pull the brake on and lash around it holding the brake hard on over night and the next day mine was 100%
Hope this helps I was amazed.
Not heard of doing that but f i get any problems with it I'll give it a bash, can't do any harm I guess.
I'll probably go with the 'back fill' method as I can see the relevance in chasing the air upwards rather than downward. As long as I can fill each line in one go I think it should be a doddle, may even do the 'brake on ' trick for good measure.
Cheers.I'll
