Hey guys,
Hoping someone could give me some information on the specifications of the standard brake bleed valve installed in the front and/or rear callipers. I was hoping to do a speed bleeder upgrade, but the brake system has fluid in it in my car (so I can't take it out and measure myself). If anyone has done this modi

 

Sorry Accidentally clicked enter and as its my first post I cannot edit the post. I was going to say if anyone has done this modification, please let me know how it went and which spec speed bleeder you used?
Thanks for the help!

 

Sorry just to add, this is a series 1 4.2 FHC. That would probably help since I think there were minor changes to the callipers throughout the different series

 

I think one of the "usuals" , has a speed bleeder kit for the car...I would check with SNG, XK's, Welsh, or Terry's....You don't want to go through this twice.

For what its worth, I replaced both master and slave recently. Thought about a bleeder kit but than decided against it out of fear of splashes on my nice new paint of that fluid under pressure.
Happy to report that from an empty system I had all 4 brakes done in an hour - the traditional way - and no I am not a pro !
Only during the final stages did I need an assistant to open/close the front bleed valves. The rear ones I could access myself sitting at the wheel and leaning backwards. There are 2 VERY handy holes in the metalwork behind the rear seats on my 2+2. Right in front of the nipples. Nice one ! Saved another 100 Euro not having to buy a remote bleed kit for the rear !
