Any of you got first hand experience of bleeding a HY / RD caliper?

Where did you get the inserts to thread into the caliper?
I have a TRP Bleed kit but it includes only one insert. This threaded straight into the port nearest the "mineral oil" wording but it did not seem to thread into the other port nearest the actuating arm. I did push a tube directly into the body and this appeared to work but on 2nd thoughts I'd like to be certain the bleed is right.

tldr - do you know what inserts I need and where to order them from?

THANKS

  • I didn't know you could bleed them. Is the reservoir not part of the caliper? Surely the air just ends up in the reservoir....? I've never thought about it before but I just can't quite imagine what you're trying to do....

  • You can definitely bleed them and the trp instruction sheet shows the process.
