Bleeding Brakes

Tiggy777

Hi all

I have a real problem bleeding my brakes.

When I operate the lever the fluid appears to return up the bleed tube. Any tips on this would be gratefully received.

It was also very difficult to do by myself so I wondered if there are any kits out there to make the process easier or is it just a case of doing it right !!!

Many thanks

I think you're forget to close the bleed nipple before release the the lever.

Open the bleed nipple 1/4 turn, squeeze the lever, close the bleed nipple. release the lever and repeat the process until the all air is removed from system. Keep a close eye on the brake fluid level in the reservoir or you'll be pumping air through the system instead of fluid.

Thanks for the advice.
