Bleeding Calipers...

[1995clio16v]

Just in the middle of doing it.

Depressed the pedal etc.

And its just trickling out, is this right? Gonna be here all day.

I assumed in would have poured out....?

you need to pump the pedal then hold it down...

then open the nipple let the air/fluid out and shut the nipple

then pump the pedal five times and hold down again...

then open the nipple let the air/fluid out and shut the nipple..

and repeat until you have a good pedal / have bleed all four calipers

best to do it with a one way valve attachement
on the nipple tbqfh with you.

Start at the N/s/r, as it is the furthest away. work back towards the closest to the master cylinder.

Get a mate to pump and hold the pedals while you open the bleed nipple and bleed off through a pipe into a bottle or jar. Make sure you pump the pedal slowly or you can damage the master cylinder.

Yeah, cheers guys.

Well Ive royaly ****ed it up as I tried doing it on my own. Still a bit left in. Will try and remove the rest when my head is a bit straighter!

Only wanted to get the fluid out so I can remove the calipers, hoses and lines from the engine bay.

If you wanna do that just take the hoses off and leave to drain out into a container, oh and take the cover off the brake fluid res

Probably should have just done that in the first place rather than f-ing around with bleeding!

Im not the sharpest tool in the box at times! :o
