Did try one of those easy bleed things but couldnt get on with it.. my problem was the bloody thing used to pressurize and the brakes would lock on..........always use to file the leading edges off....but the problem was the throw of the master cylinder....it was always sort of acting as a one way valve..........i never did get to the bottom of it.........

SpringDon Posted November 9, 2018 Report Share Posted November 9, 2018 I started used a vacuum pump to prime the lines then a easibleed on each wheel and get pressure quite quickly. I found the easibleed on its own would take ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted November 10, 2018 Report Share Posted November 10, 2018 That’s years of rust proofing built up. Oil leaks and dust. A good clean would aid in fixing it without getting crud in all your new bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will put up a better img. Maybe my lack of knowledge is showing through. And when i get to it I'll clean the Bay up... Or leave it long enough that you'll crack and drive to Somerset yourself Edited November 10, 2018 by ShootingEgg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
