By the way, one of the pad retainer was partially broken so replaced it.








Now brake line torqued to the spec without causing kink/twist.












Please don't apply excessive amount of copper grease at the hub.

Depending on the base oil used for the grease, it will be splashed.













No oil cooler so used vacuum pump to generate the specified vacuum in order to check the pushrod clearance at the master cyl.





Time for the bench bleeding of the master cyl.
Due to how the feed holes/passage/exit holes are positioned and with centre valve design on each pistons,
you really need to tilt the master cyl in all direction to get as much air as possible out of the cyl before installation unless using vacuum fill method.


Once managed to get rid of almost all air, set the master cyl on the bench and using pressure bleeder to finalise the bench bleeding.

You'll never be able to achieve the same result using the same amount of fluid and most importantly, the time with empty master cyl already installed on the car.






1st round of pressure bleeding.

Although not required, as a standard procedure, I'll carry out the 2nd round later.

I need to put the car on the ground and bounce the new damper/spring several times before tightening all bolts/nuts under 1G so good timing to do the 2nd pressure bleeding.




Moving on….
