bleed nipple
« on: 23 April 2011, 14:09 »
Which part do I clamp. The spring seems to be off about 15mm from the leaver arm bolt  :undecided: It is seized aswell I think so what part is that would be seized, the actual valve or the lever arm?

Cheers mate, I did see that pic on gti but couldn't work it out, it makes sense seeing it now though. I did spray that part with wd40  :embarassed: thinking that may be what has seized!lol

Got it unseized and all brakes bled the otherday  :cool:

Awesome, this has been bothering me too regarding getting brakes bled.

Failed MOT x2 despite being put into a garage to get the brakes sorted. :rolleyes:
