Cheers,
I am having the worst time trying to force the fluid up into the
brake system from the bleed valve on the main wheel. We opened the
upper fill plug to relieve what we thought to be any resistance and with a
syringe attempted to fill the various parts.
First of all the syringes leaked somewhat and we did our best to
press fluid into the wheel portion but after 250 ml, and much huffing and
puffing, have seen little result above, even though we induced a vacuum from
the top to expedite matters..
Any hints or kinks as to a more perfect procedure? All ideas
accepted at par.
Thanks, Ferg

I used an empty plastic washing up liquid bottle filled with brake fluid, connected
with plastic hose. The nozzle of the bottle is similar size to that of the
bleed nipple. I wire locked the hose on each end to ensure it couldn't possibly
slip off. You have to squeeze like mad but it works! I suspect a syringe
might not be man-enough for the job?
(Obviously take the top filler screw out and if you have the factory supplied small
metal funnel to screw in that avoids any mess at all)

Hi Ferg,
Large syringe [ from a Vet ?], length of model aircraft silicone fuel tube,
1/4'' spanner, plastic bag and either the Europa screw in funnel, or a noz
zle from a silicone sealant cartridge..........
Cover the caliper with the plastic bag, piercing it through the nipple [ to
keep fluid off the pads ]
Fit the tube on the syringe, fill the syringe and purge the air out to the
open end of the tube, fit onto nipple.
With the Europa funnel or nozzle fitted to the bung hole in the master cyli
nder, open the nipple a turn or turn and a half and squeeze the fluid up, i
t has taken me longer to type this than it should take to do it !
Have a helper to watch for the funnel filling up, when fluid is in the funn
el, tighten up the caliper nipple.
Slowly pump the master cylinder to it's full travel a number of times, air
trapped in the cylinder will come up through the fluid in the funnel [ rais
e the tail will help here ?]
When all air has gone, suck out the fluid from the funnel so the fluid is
level with the thread, replace the bung..... job done
Cheers,
Nev
