bleeding four pot calipers

No I am not swearing.It's just that I will be bleeding my new four pots tonight and I was looking for tips. I have a ballance bar system,I guess I wont have to do anything with the rear brakes as they are separate from the fronts.
All tips gratefully recieved.
Regards Kipper............AKA Denis.





Where did that go?

I found 2 man operation to be the most effective.

Get assistant to press pedal, then open nipple, close nipple, assistant releases pedal. And repeat ad nauseaum

Ideally the bleed nippleshould be above the brake pipe entry - people have experience cases of air locks which require the calipers to be removed and repositioned.

Do not shake fluid in the container.
