Phat VR6 3 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Start from your N/S/R, Then your O/S/R, then N/S/F and finish off with the O/S/F.Theres a little bleed nipple on the back of the callipers which is to be undone using a spanner think its 9mm on VR, You want to add some pipe onto the nipple, get somone in your drivers seat to work your pedal.Keep brake fluid toped upOpen the bleed nipple and tell the driver to go down on the brake pedal, Once they have gone down tell them to say down and shout what they have just done "DOWN"They need to keep there foot down on the brake pedal while you tighten the nipple back upOnce youve tighted it back up you shout "UP" and they go uponce there up they shout "UP" and u open the nipple again and shout "DOWN"Repeat untill you can see no air bubbles in the pipe youve conected to the nipple and the brakes feel hardHope this helps Tom Link to post Share on other sites

craggsy 91 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Oh if you do it the old fashioned way be careful as if you push brake pedal to far then you can bugger seals in master cylinder Link to post Share on other sites
