Hi There,
You need to push the liquid with a syringe from each brake through the
purge
bolt until it goes out of each master cylinder. To avoid having liquid
falls
everywhere you need to connect a special bolt on which you connect a
pipe
and get the exceeding in a bottle.

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 found it was critical to raise the tail as high as possible, say 1.5 meters (be
careful not to damage your prop) so that the master cylinder is almost horizontal.

Hi Ferg
Had another think about this today, if you can't get any fluid to flow uphi
ll, the caliper piston might be backed up tight in the housing, which will
block the flow.
As it will have been sitting around for a while [ how long Ferg ?] warm the
caliper with a fan heater, just so it is warm to the touch [ to help un gu
m the seal] and remove the bleed nipple and give it a shot of compressed ai
r to shift the piston out to the disc.
Then the fluid will pass through the caliper with barely any effort.
Cheers,
Nev

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

| Subject: | AN bolts too long |
I noticed that all bolts for the CS14 brackets are specified to be about
one size too long. The manual calls for AN3-6A to mount the brackets to the
cockpit module. Since these bolts are only partially threaded, I was
running out of threads before the nut was able to grip. So I ordered some
AN3-5A bolts and that worked better.
Then I noticed the same problem when mounting the bellcrank onto the CS14
brackets. The manual calls for AN4-12A, but they are too long.
Has anyone else noticed this, or am I missing something here?
