Speed Bleeding!
Just bled brakes for the first time and from what i've heard it can be a pig. So i got a couple of speed bleed nipples and they're bloody great, lets the fluid through and doesn't let any air in. So if you need some new nips give these a try
 That is all!!! http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/produc...ode=GDRBN704SB

I think im a master bleeder now. I bled the clutch about a thousand times, I kid you not thinking that the clutch was dragging and causing problems.... turned out it was the gear selecter arm that needed greasing... Sigh.  At least im a good bleeder now.

Re: Speed Bleeding!!
I can do it with just a tube, but I'm miles faster with the big syringe and they're dead cheap, so it's worth it I reckon.

Re: Speed Bleeding!!
I use a spanner, that's it. Why complicate matters?

Re: Speed Bleeding!
Only a spanner here too. Just clean all the excess fluid and you're away.
It doesn't start to bubble paint until its been on there a good few hoursanyway. |

Re: Speed Bleeding!
Nothing wrong with it... just you get oil all over the floor etc and it just cant be as easy I wouldn't have thought.
But whatever.
