Hi Duke,

On my 4 litre, the loops are at the top on the retaining springs.

As regards the timing of pump cutout - if it's timed from anything other from anything other than a fully discharged system, it doesn't mean anything. Any touch of the brake pedal after it last fully pressurised will affect the timings. So, if you want to do a basic check of the pump and accumulator efficiency, you have to do it from a fully discharged accumulator. Anything else is just misleading.

Cheers

Alex,
As I might have mentioned earlier, I *Needed* to flush the system as it's been at least 7 years.
So I gathered up my courage today, got all the toys, er uh, Tools together and just did it!

I don't know what I expected but what I got was a Very easy flush, maybe 30 minutes for the Right Rear (farthest from the MC), about 2 drips/second, from old brown, cruddy fluid to bright clear and clean in the catch jar, and all I had to do was be sure the reservoir didn't run out.

After that first one, which was a bit trepidatious cuz I really didn't know what I was doing, the rest were a Breeze!!

All Done!

My friend really wanted me to use his vacuum bleeder that came with a Box of bottles, attachments and fittings, and I took it just to be polite, but it was way too complex, had too many parts, no instructions and needed compressed air. I inspected what it required and put it all back in the box.

Thank you so much for your easy to follow instructions.

Hi LnrB

Glad that it worked out for you, as you are the only person so far who has provided any Feedback on this method of bleeding the Brakes but if you want to lead a stress free life, in my own opinion then Gravity Bleeding is the way to go

In any event Well done!

Best Wishes

Alex

 

Yes, Alex, I'm all for Stress Free!!
This will be the way I bleed Nix from here on.
