wrighty Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 after you have bled your brakes to the best of your ability. try this. remove the cap off the fluid reservoir, pump the brake pedal, keep pressure on by placing a peice of wood between the pedal and the base of the drivers seat, pref for a day or two. try your brake pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Keene Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've used pressure bleeding systems before, and they are great for bleeding a lot of fluid out. But, I find I get a better pedal by finishing off with either a one way valve or the two person method, after the pressure bleed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 Agree... after p*****g about with a pressure bleeding kit, which included the nozzle exploding out from the top of the bottle and covering me, my car, and my eyeball in fluid, i bought a one way valve from Halfrauds. I then relaxed as i gently went around the car and bled it on my own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi all Thinking of putting Castrol SRF brake fluid into the car after haing some issues on track how much will i need to do the whole system more than 1 litre ??. Another question is how long between fluid changes ?? Thanks in advance Ross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyy Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 ive found in the past that if you fill a small syringe with fluid and remove any air and force it up through system from calipers up and then bleed normally afterwards always works a treat for me mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjdad76 Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Just reviving an old thread here - I have twin MC's and have just replaced the front calipers. I have bled the front brakes only - not the rears. I assume this is ok as the rears are on a different circuit - is this correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhutch Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Should be yes. What does the pedal feel like.... I have always used an Ezee Bleed off the tyre pressure. - I dont both putting an bottle, but keep topping up the res, working on my own, using the car tyres (low presure anyway) and just re inflating them once done.

Chrisn01 Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Whats the best method for bleeding the HiSpec Golf rears with the 4x nipples, do I just bleed from the top two nipples? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Yes. The bottom two are only there for installs where they’re mounted the other way up. Air rises, all opening the bottom tends to do, if your not careful, is release tiny amounts of air back into the calliper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 Also, be very careful not too open any bleed nipple too far, as air can get drawn back down the outside, along the threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
