  1. just purchased an "easy bleed " works from the spare , tool. Front caliper has two bleed nips , any experience from you guys re which order ?i.e. do lower one 1st ?or for that matter ,will it matter? cheers re any advice
     
  2. Use the upper ones. They may shear off - beware.
     
  3. As snotty says...

    Upper one, as air rises to the highest point!! :)
     
  4. Unless the van's upside down...oh, actually, you're still right :)
     
  5. cheers for info ,guys ,will batter in tomorrow ,in this inclement whether, i.e. wind that would cut you in 2 >rain >overcast sky>whilst switching off radio during forecast informing me that" On this bank holiday England is getting all the sunshine " !!(so ,what"s new?) >slops off to dig out thermals.
     
  6. I've not taken the thermals off yet :lol:
     
  7. Don't do not do what I did and forget to let down the tyre preasure. Ruptured brake resevoir. Doh!
     
  8. Max 10 psi from memory. Not keen myself , well tbh mine just blows the cap off, ive got the cheapo one with the non return valve perfectly adequate. in fact dead easy.

    As above dead easy to shear the nips off!!!!
     
  9. 18psi ;)
     
  10. probably whs but dont forget to drop it or there will be fluid all over the shop.

    Was given one once tried using it gave up and itsback in the box and my trusty one way valve is what i use.
     
  12. Thanks for advise re this guys , done today ,pedal now well"ard , one thing I think they should change in their instructions is ,as you guys said , it should read "Do a Ist test bleed with tyre pressure no more than IO p.s.i.,and adjust from there"> having no pressure gauge I estimated it ,doh ! , so........>>> after cleaning up ,and visiting accessory shop for tyre gauge and more brake fluid I done it proper.
