Mark Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Quick Question.... I have ad to disconnect the front offside flexible brake pipes while I was replacing the inner wing. Do I now need to bleed the entire system, or just that corner? ta Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
white90 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 best to do the lot quick job really with someone pressing the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishbosh Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 If you clamped them off then you should be OK doing just that corner. But as is always the case with brakes, better be safe than sorry..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happyoldgit Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 If it were me I'd do the whole lot and renew all the fluid in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 Bish, I couldn't clamp them as I had to undo where the flexi attaches to the copper. mog, that was pretty much the approach I was going to take, I just wanted to check that I wasn't making work for myself. It probably wouldn't hurt for new fluid... Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 TBH I'd just bleed the one end and if the pedal is firm then not disturb the others. If its not then, yep, do the lot. If you can't clamp the flexi is is always worth putting a plastic bag over the master cylinder to stop the fluid running through and reduce the chances of getting air in the other lines.

Mark Posted September 29, 2006 Author Share Posted September 29, 2006 I was hoping I could get away wih just doing the ne corner - hence the question really. All the time I was working on the wings, The pipes were capped off with a small dummy pipe that I made up. You should be able to see the bright copper in the picture: We will see what tomorrow brings.... ta Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02GF74 Posted September 30, 2006 Share Posted September 30, 2006 It warms the cockles of my heart (whatever they may be) to see copper pipe being used in a novel and creative way. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
