Title: brake bleeding...
Post by: branandfox on July 25, 2013, 12:03:39 PM

SO! upon reinstalling all of the rear end (see my post in projects) and cleaning the leaves situation, I installed new rear brakes and a EBC rotor. the problem is that I had to disassemble the rear brake and clean it really well to get it moving freely again. So now the little "speed bleeders" I bought won't bleed the system. what do you guys use to bleed brakes? are the vacuum containers worth the price and work well? any tips on this job would be welcome. first teardown of the bike. Kind of learning as I go!'

I've done both vac and pump method and had no problems with either. Do you have ABS?  I know on my 95 I have to bleed the servo first (till I scraped it;) )

harbor freight vac. pump bleeder...worth it definitely.  Keeps mess off floor, and works to pull old fluid out.
