Although it is not in the manual, it will save your time and brake fluid by carrying out the bench bleeding if you emptied the Master Cyl.
If you look inside the master cyl, you’ll find that the fluid holes for the two outlet port towards the two brake pipes connected to the Cyl are not at the 12 or 3 o’clock position. Instead, it is more like 1 or 2 o’clock. And the brake fluid has higher viscosity than the water.
Because of this, if you emptied the Master Cyl, it will take long time to get rid of the air from the brake hydraulic system. Also, you could end up just pushing and pulling the air inside the brake pipe if you let too much air inside the master cyl as well as inside the pipe.
Connect two brake pipes to the mater cyl and pressure bleed on the bench. By using this method, you can tilt the master cyl in the exact angle to quickly push out the inside air out of the way. Also, it will help by tapping on the cyl body to move the sticky air bubbles from the internal wall.
Once all the callipers and brake hoses are connected, place the Brake master cyl in original place and it is time to pressure bleed the entire system.
3. Brake Hose
The owner ordered the Goodridge Brake Hose with custom made length. Also, he went for the Stainless Fittings and not the Zinc plated one.
Initially, he didn’t get the Front brake hose with two fixing holders but thanks to the quick response from Goodridge and the modified ones were directly sent to my place.
Always start from the banjo bolt side and the new hoses were installed, torqued properly.
