I bow to your obvious superiority
Superior knowledge maybe. I try to help people on here, if they won't listen it does get a bit frustrating.

So because I did not do a depressurisation before clamping then removing the calipers how much damage could I have done
Non really just do a full bleed according to RAVE. Follow all the steps carefully.

Hi should brake fluid seep out of a new accumulater as none came out of the one I just fitted was just wondering if this is strange
No it shouldn't. You did fit the new O'ring didn't you.?
Grrrrrr

Did you lubricate the new O ring with brake fluid before fitting?
He was advised to do so but it really should not make a lot of difference there should have been plenty around in the recess the O'ring goes in. The sort of pressure being exerted should seal the O'ring. OOPs, wrong poster it was someone else i told that. Soz.

Hi
Ok just spent two hours going through the bleeding of the brakes and as wammers said I was careful to do it by the book step by step still have no brakes though and only have clean fluid coming out of bleeders what am I doing wrong?

Did you follow the step by step instructions in RAVE? Is the pump running? What does the pedal feel like? What lights have you got on dash board?
