Brake Bleeding
Posted: Mon Sep 10, 2007 1:44 pm
The front right hand caliper had a couple of pistons sticking slightly so over the weekend I decided to pop them out to clean them thoroughly. Everything was going well until I tried gettig pressure back in the brake system. Must have pumped about a litre of brake fluid through the system before any decent pressure was felt and it's still not brilliant. I vowed there and then to scrap the front brake hoses and the useless cross tube which seems to make getting air out of the system about 10 times harder. So this morning I ordered a two tube system in stainless from Aerotek along with the correct banjo bolts. One tube to each caliper should make bleeding the brakes much easier. However the kit from Aerotek does not have any clamps/clips which will secure the hoses at the fork brace. These are the clamps which allow the hoses to move up and down but prevent them from flapping about too much. Can anyone give me the name & tel nos of someone who can supply these and perhaps indicate the correct ones to use. The fork brace has two drilled holes where the existing cross tube fits so I would assume the clamps should fit here.
