Self bleaders....... brakes

I bought a set of self bleaders that screw into the bleader holes for my disk brakes my question is can I just leave them in there? Or should I just replace them with the originals?

Re: Self bleaders....... brakes

Now the next question since I got that figured out and done. With the rear brake line detached from the prop valve when i pump the pedal I should get a steady stream of fluid correct? Not just dribble dribble..

Re: Self bleaders....... brakes

You should get a steady stream of brake fluid. Why do you have the line off at the prop. valve? I am having trouble getting the brake line off of the rear brake hose. It connects in side of the frame. And it is hard to get to. I have been trying to soak it with penetrating oil. The rear hose is the only old part on the brake system. I may have to replace the line from front to the rear. Good luck . Grady
One more thing. Don't let up on the brake pedal with the line off. You will suck air back into the master cyl.

Re: Self bleaders....... brakes

maybe read a service manual about how to bleed brakes properly and centering your pin
