brake bleeding

[itsallyellow]

Need to bleed the brakes. Are the calipers on the cerb the same as normal?? As in bleed the 2 nipples either side first and then the central one?? Starting furthest away from the resevior first.

Yes farthest from master cylinder, lowest to highest bleed nipples. dare I ask why you need to bleed them.
Has anyone put braided hoses on their car and does it make any difference to pedal feel/brake efficiency?

Just fitted all my race calipers and discs. Had to diconnect the calipers to put the new ones on.

Sorry, only just saw this....
Yes, I had braided lines fitted after I'd done about 5K. Completely transformed the feel for me. Pedal pressure/movement feels much more direct to the braking force so an increase in sensitivity. It also feels more powerful but wouldn't bet my mortgage on that as a fact.
Just generally improves the feel more than I can ever inpress upon.... and look so lovely in red now (which is the clour your eyes go if you hit the pedal hard)
Best 60 quid I've ever spent on a vehicle - thanks Jools

Hi Mr Cebera

Are the stainless steel type braided hoses available with different coloured plastic coatings over the braiding then?
