Stage 1 v8 brake bleed

AJofShabby · Apr 11, 2023

Hi all. I’ve just bought a Stage 1. It’s previously had new pads, brake cylinders, hoses et al but has not been drive Since. The brakes work when pumped.
Before I start the full bleed process are there any hints or tips specific to this vehicle as it’s a bit of a bitsa.

thanks

The brakes look mostly standard to the 109 and my late 88, so follow the guidance in the manual in particular note the PDWA valve if it still has one mounted near servo. I also like to use the one man bled kits Halfords do them for about a fiver

Thanks Steve.

No probs , the manual will mention about clamping off the flexis to show which bit there may be air in, I’ve found a couple of cheap mole grips good for the task .
