Top tips for bleeding the brake system?

[mclark]

Just thought I'd ask before I undertake the task what tips people may have on hot to best bleed the brakes.

Thanks

Hi Michael,

Here are the basics.

I really wish I was to the point in my build where I could offer Ultima-specific tips! The only one I can think of is make sure you start with the line that is furthest from each separate reservoir.

Had no issues with mine.
As stated bleed furthest first.

I invested in a Sealey vacuum bleeder which is run off compressed air. Will cost you £50 or so but works a treat.

I've got a Gunsons one that is similar, but cheaper. They're pretty good IMO.

Cheers for the link Scott.

I'll attempt this next Saturday
