could someone please post a pic or diagram of exactly how the clips etc look on an assenbled rear caliper for me, just ripped mine apart and want to make sure im putting them back exactly right to ensure caliper doesnt go wrong on me again.

many thanks Graham.

Also supplied with the new caliper was a fitting kit which has 2 copper washers now the old one that came off didnt have any fitted where do they go? im guessing one should go between the caliper and the 13mm extension piece that the pipe goes into not sure about the second one.

u can just about get a spanner on the bleed nipple with the wheels on mate.....

i have also been told that a gravity bleed is good......fill the res up, loosen all 4 bleed nipples, let it run thru for an hour or so...not tried it, but apparently it works.

What in addition to the normal bleed, or instead of?

If you can get them set up properly, you are the first person i've seen who has praised them
