Hi,
I have bled my shimano m575 brakes and my mate has the M505, the difference looks like on his its a case un screwing the resevoir cap and i assume they are bled the same way as mine but the difference they dont have the screw in oil cup facility like the M575. Is it a case of putting a rag around the resevoir on the m505.
I hope this make sense

    so have you downloaded the bleeding info for each model?

    or do you want me to do so and tell you what to do?
