k, well tomorrow I'm gonna replace the brake pads on my VS
I've looked thought my cars workshop manual, read how-tos and watched a few videos (youtube, expertvilige)
i know what i gotta do just wanna double check with you fellas
After i replace the pads and put the calipers back, (i'll do some gentle pumps just to get the pads bedded abit) then I'll start the bleeding
so i'll get the right sized spanner and place it on the bleeder, then put a tube which is lightly coated in brake fluid, have it atleast 2 inches of the tube above the bleeder, and the end in a bottle.
I'll get the assistant to gently press the brake pedal to half way, open bleeder, let some of the old fluid out, close bleeder and tell the assistant to let the brake pedal go. then repeat this a few times until there is a nice flow of clean fluid coming out of the bleeder. then repeat with the other calipers
oh yeah, and make sure that the fluid level is around the max mark on the reservoir before bleeding & after bleeding
then the proper bedding instructions to complete the lot:yeah:
i hope i got it right, anything I'm missing?
thanks:thumbsup:
