Ongoing front brakes saga...
After disc calipers are rebuilt by SSBC, I'll have to reinstall and bleed. It's my first time for this...need to get a set of line wrenches....
TIPS ?
- I'm not using silicone brake fluid. Recommended type / brand for the replacement?
- Bleeding tubes: Did you make your own? if so, what size is the tubing and how long? Did you buy?
- What do you use to hold the fluid when you bleed the brakes?
- Will I need to bleed all 4 wheels' brakes even though I'm only working on the fronts?
AFAIK to bleed you simply open the bleed valve, put on the bleed hose and submerge into fluid, and pump the pedal a few times until no more bubbles. Use of "speed bleeders" ? When to add more fluid to the MC and to what level for final fill?
Thanks for any guidance. I hope to get the calipers off on Saturday in hopes of having them back for reinstall next weekend.
Every so-called problem presents an opportunity to learn ! TIA - Dickson
