Hi All
Just a question on the correct technique for bleeding the brakes, I received a
brake bleed kit from Europa, effectively a syringe and whats basically a metal
screw in funnel.
Im assuming the funnel bit screws into the top of the cylinder on the finger brake
itself but what do i do with the syringe?
Also it recommends dot 5 brake fluid to top up, is there a suitable alternative
as dot 5 is proving difficult to get in Ireland?
Kind Regards
Eoin

Your are correct in that the funnel screws into the top of the master cylinder.
I use the syringe to push the fluid up through the bleed screw on the slave cylinder
and then through the line into the master. Pushes air out at the same time.

For information of others who have so kindly offered their spinners, this Thursday
afternoon I posted mine complete with spinner bulkheads to Klaus. Thanks.

Alan is correct in what he says. I take it you have a mono? If so let me share
my experience with you. I have a mono and bleed the brake pushing fluid up from
the bottom. However after 4 or 5 times of doing this the lever was still spongey.
The reason for this is that the master cylinder is at an angle so air is
still trapped in the front section of the cylinder. In order to remove this air
I pushed the fluid up from the bottom until the metal cup you screw in gets
half full then PUMP the brake lever until no more bubbles come into the cup and
you can just see the fluid being sucked in and out. Then close off the bleed
nipple on the caliper and suck some of the fluid in the metal cup up with the
syringe.

I can't remember where I got these instructions from, but they work fine for the
mono:
Brake Bleeding
Funnel; 10 ml syringe; 5 mm allen key; DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid.
1. Remove filler plug & screw the funnel in its place.
2. Pull brake lever smoothly fully aft. Brake fluid should appear in the funnel.
Hold the lever aft.
3. Insert the syringe into the funnel and suck out as much fluid as possible. Discard
fluid.
4. Nearly fill the syringe with clean fluid and empty into funnel.
5. Release the lever gently, insert the syringe as far as possible and suck out
remaining fluid.
6. Remove funnel - the fluid should be just below the uppermost level of the master
cylinder.
7. Refit plug. Master cylinder is now bled; if the lever is not firm, brake callipers
need bleeding.
