FRUCK brake bleeding

NONE_too_SOFT · 04-02-2008, 12:55 PM

so i was outside playing with my bike, thinking of putting it back together. i started it up just to let it run for a few minutes before i check the oil, and while i was blippin the throttle a little bit after she was warm my dumb ass squeezes the brake lever.

yea the caliper was still off the mount on my front fork...

so how fuckin hard is it to bleed my brakes? anybody offer some tips? a summary of events.

I know i'll need some tubing to prevent the shit from getting on anything and some DOT4 fluid, anything else?

Yeah, for $10 go buy a break bleeder.

As easy as it is to bleed them, save the $10. It's a one man job. Just get your tube hooked good, make sure your bottle won't fall over, and pump away. The lever is less than 3 feet away from the caliper!

Exactly...

Other end into a bottle of the correct and new brake fluid... pump pump pump pump till you don't get any more bubbles in the bottle. Then tighten the bleeder and check for pressure.
