No point in re-using the heavily corroded brake bleeder screws so replaced all four including the ones at the front.

Also, as reported earlier, the parking brake cable pin was seized at both sides and there was no way I can re-use them so replaced with new one.

New bleeder screw and banjo bolt at the rear brake calipers.




Pressure bled the system.
As the brake master cyl was never emptied, fairly easy task. Just push out the old fluid until new clear fluid comes out and without any bubbles.


If you are not using pressure bleeding method, never floor the brake pedal during the most common bleeding method used (i.e. one person operates the brake pedal while the other one opens/closes the bleeder screw or using the one-man method) unless you have replaced the master cyl with a new one.
Otherwise, you are going to destroy the perfectly fine existing seals/lips inside the master cyl.




Applied silicone grease around the IG coil and the opening where the plug is inserted.




Time for the Compression check.
Full data has been sent to the owner through email.
Similar tendency as before start of the service.

As reported earlier, slightly lower than what I normally see on the C32B engine but very small deviation between each cyl and consistent so just carry on driving the car and take the compression once a year at the time of the annual service. Well within the spec so not to worry.
As in my previous blog, just seems to be extra movement at the crank on thrust axis.

New rubber seal at the IG coil cover and applied silicone grease for further protection.
