Bleeding brakes again !! (dual reservoir)
andy996tt - 9/7/12 at 10:02 PM

Think I'm right in thinking that because I have one reservoir for the front and another for the rear the bleeding procedure is more tricky.

Pumping the pedal in the usual way won't work as one circuit will be closed and won't let the pedal fully travel.

I've looked at my bias bar and it doesn't look that easy to come off.

I'd like to use my motiv easybleed but it has a 45mm cap for European cars. I have caps with a 65mm cap.

What techniques are people using with dual brake reservoir set ups

??

Should be no problems, the pedal doesnt need to travel fully, as you are still pushing fluid throught the system, might just take a few more pumps.

the bias bar will still allow movement on the 'open' circuit, as the bar will push more on that one as the other cylinder pressure stops the push rod moving. thats kinda what the bias bar is there to do!

Excellent. Cheers

Andy, i take it you sorted this out? I saw you spinning whilst on the brakes at Bedford trying to catch the romanian dude in the Noble

Just a little adjustment needed with the brake bias.

Thanks for the concern
