Having problems bleeding brakes.

I managed to get some pressure into the front and then zip tied the lever back to the bars to pressurise the system. Left for 2 days and now pressure is good.

I just can't get any pressure into the rear though. Got the fluid going though and sucking from the slave cylinder end, but absolutley no pressure on the pedal :evil: . Spent about 2 hours on this. It was really difficult on the other bike as well but I had done it by this time................

Try just pressing the pedal gently, with bleed nipple tight, but fluid res top off. Press slightly an keep it in one position for a bit.

I find when doing this that tiny bubbles come back into the res. Then it seems to create enough pressure to bleed via the nipple

Don't need John's help anyway :P .

I took the caliper off the back and held it up so the brake line went vertical. This seemed to clear the air and the back brake now works ;) .
