Bleeding your hydros.....get a syringe from any pharamcy the no needle type...the kind used to dispence childrens medicene in CCs. ....attach a small piece of silicone tubing to the end.

Open the wheel cylinders bleed valve, take off your mastercylinders lid, put 20cc mineral sprits into the syringe attach the silicone tubing to the open wheel valve push the oil from the wheel cylinder to your master. close the bleed valve.

repeat the process for the other side


heres some photos of the brakes installed to give you ideas

You have a screw on the inside of the caliper,undo that screw enough for the fluid to dribble out and then unscrew the master, pour in the brake fluid to the master and keep toping it up untill system is full without bubbles, then put your thumbover the master and then tighten the caliper screw up, refit top of master then test brakes, repeat if needed.

I used to use PTFE taoe around the bleed screw to stop air and leaks.

This is for KP type hydros.
