No-one's mentioned the swearbox requirement for when the brake pad wear sensor snaps :(

Pads

My reasoning is, why push dirty fluid back up to the resevoir. Doing this I have never had to bleed after fitting pads. |
by undoing the bleed nipple you run the risk of getting air in to the system .place rags around the resevoir to catch any fluid they is pushed back out .never undo the bleed nipple unless you are actually going to bleed the brakes.there is no need to undo it ...

I'm with Crofts on this, I don't see the point in forcing dirty fluid back up the system, I've always done as Crofts says and cracked a nipple to release the fluid, with no ill effects.

"not the way to do it" ?
After doing it for 25 years I beg to differ :) It's a viscous circle, the less the bleed nipple is used the more chance of it seizing when you do eventually need to use it. I've had plenty of calipers apart and there's always some moisture and dirt in the corner, I'd prefer to get rid of it rather than chance it going back up the line. Whatever you're happy with :) |
