Thread: Brake Bleeding question

Hi All,

Did a 5 tyre rotate yesterday and decided while I had the LH Side wheel off on my RRC I'd might as well change the two front brake hoses (that I omitted doing when I did the right hand side.

I was using ont of those one person bleed kits with one way valve.

This morning I had to re bleed left caliper (my wife pump brake pedal) while I used kit as I could see what was being expelled as there was still exsessive brake pedal travel.
The brakes pedal is now firm where it suppost to be however when bleeding the top nipple of the caliper while fluid dribbled out nothing of real note was expelled while my wife repeadly pumped pedal then held it down

The lower nipple when pumped and held down opened gushed out brake fluid

Is that how its suppost to be or should the top nipple do the same and does that mean I need to check the caliper.

Cheers

Baggy

If you have 2 brake lines going to the caliper, there should be a third bleed nipple on the wheel side of the caliper which you can see only when the wheel is off, there is a sequence for correctly bleeding these 3 bleed nipple calipers, Regards Frank.
