Brake Fluid Replacement:
- Easier with the wheels off
- Put a rubber hose on the bleed nipple for the O/S/R calliper
- Get a friend to push on the brake pedal
- Slacken the nipple until fluid passes
- Tighten the nipple and pull the brake pedal back to its original position
- Repeat steps 3,4 & 5 until clean fluid passes through be sure to keep the reservoir well topped up to avoid pulling air into the system
- Repeat for N/S/R, N/S/F, O/S/F in that order as it is essential to work from furthest line from the master cylinder to avoid any undesired effects.
- There is no need to bleed the ABS unit separately.
Clutch Fluid Replacement:
- Same technique as the brakes the bleed nipple is on the front edge of the G/Box
