hey guys, I'm after a guide on how to refill my front brake system as what I'm trying isn't working!
What I'm doing now:
Fill master cylinder with both calliper nipples shut.
Squeeze brake lever, open nipple (which has a hose run into a glad jar with fluid in).
No bubbles appear, so I close the nipple with the lever still squeezed.
What's going on? It's as if the brake system isn't forcing the air out the system?! I removed everything when I changed my head bearings..
Note - the brake lever never stiffens up as if it's not generating pressure...
Help! (Without buying pumps etc preferably!)
Cheers
