P38a Brake system bleeding

lizalandy · Mar 24, 2011

i have just changed the pads all round, and had to do a caliper as it was knacked. i now need to bleed them, is it as much as a ball ache as it seems reading through the RAVE sequence? are there any easier ways? cheers all

If you clamped off the flexi. Just bleed the caliper you changed no need to do the whole lot.

And if you haven't then just get a friend to help and bleed the system properly. Its not as bad as it looks, takes maybe 15 mins.

Get 4 litres of DOT4 and replace the brake fluid whist you are at it. It's something that seems to be forgotten nowadays.
