Brake Fluid Replacement:

  • Easier with the wheels off
  • Put a rubber hose on the bleed nipple for the O/S/R calliper
  • Get a friend to push on the brake pedal
  • Slacken the nipple until fluid passes
  • Tighten the nipple and pull the brake pedal back to its original position
  • Repeat steps 3,4 & 5 until clean fluid passes through be sure to keep the reservoir well topped up to avoid pulling air into the system
  • Repeat for N/S/R, N/S/F, O/S/F in that order as it is essential to work from furthest line from the master cylinder to avoid any undesired effects.
  • There is no need to bleed the ABS unit separately.


Clutch Fluid Replacement:

  • Same technique as the brakes the bleed nipple is on the front edge of the G/Box
