Bleeding rear brakes
Right! Who is responsible for the placement of the bleed nipple on the rear brakes of my series 2??? I love the principle of the inboard system, but really!!!
my question is how are you meant to get a spanner on the nipple without having to remove the exhaust?
I'm going to have a crack at flushing the whole brake system on the weekend, my gut feeling is that the master cylinder is probably past is best, but I'll give it a go anyway.

bleeder nipples
I just ordered new F&R bleeder vales from Jegs. They have a ball valve which closes to prevent air from entering the system - attach your hose to valve, get in car and pump away.. one man operation and no need for vacuum pump.
Russel 3/8x24 front
Russell 10mmx1.0 rear
9.99 per pair
PS... hose needs to be submerged in cup with some brake fluid
