zzzak Posted August 30 Author Share Posted August 30 Calipers are rebuilt and looking lovely, now all I need to do is bleed them but there I need some help, I filled the master cylinder with fluid but don't seem to be able to get it down to the working end, the problem I thing lies in bleeding the radial master cylinder, I tried what I know but don't seem to be able to get the fluid to flow, can anyone point me ithe right direction to begin the sequence and get her done please ? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catteeclan Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 A syringe is a good friend, can suck the fluid down or push back up to get things moving. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Fallsalot Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 Crack the top banjo bolt and then push fluid up from each caliper then try bleeding as normal. might be less messy to take the top hose off and put a container under it until all the air is out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckster Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 It is possible that the seal in the master cylinder has dried out and hardened with the bike standing so long. Personally I use a Mityvac for my brakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earache Posted September 2 Share Posted September 2 I bought one of these a few years ago - huge time saver. Am amazed at how many times I've used it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had one of those at work. Made changing fluid a lot quicker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
