Thread: anyone local to nowra with a fancy brake bleeder

Rob,
No need for pressure or vacuum bleed IMHO. I had a low spongy pedal on the D2 when I got it... bled brakes and no change. Was combination of 1 seized and several almost seized caliper pins, so worth checking those. If buggered they are pretty cheap at about $90 (ish) for all 4 calipers.
Cheers, Charlie

See here for how to do it yourself with a home made kit:

Easiest way is to use 2 long lengths of wire and a toggle switch and use this to bridge the abs relay cicuit as you do each wheel just cycle the abs pump and open the bleed nipple

I've used that method but have a few questions:

1/ Is it the equivalent of a power bleed done with the LR testbook / Hawkeye / Nanocom which I believe bleeds the ABS pump?

2/ Do you pulse the pump or let it run continuously.

G`day all i went to the garden centre and brought a pressure pump like the ones that spray weed stuff ,,, anyhow made a cap for the D2 and pressuer bleed the system it now has a great pedal ,,, cost $13 all up ,,,,,
Now have nice clean fluid all thru the system ,,,,

Excellent that has motivated me to have a go at constructing a pressure bleeder - what did you use to make the reservoir cap?

Yes, same result as using Testbook because the ABS pump is used and it flushes the internal pathways by doing so and it's a far superior method to using the brake pedal or an external pump because of it.

Only need to run the ABS pump after a bleed nipple is opened then stop it once the nipple is closed, but no harm done if left running other then eventually overheating the ABS pump.

Hi Graeme - thanks for responding. Since posting I've done some more research and found a post on AULRO that explains that it's not quite the same and offers a solution to compensate.
