bleeding me bleeding brakes!
 

gotta my99 with sub' four pots up front... after new discs and pads all round.. and newly painted calipers (red behind matt black 17in alloys looks niiice!) they still have a spongy feel to them.. gonna try bleeding them myself as present fluid has been in few years i think... east or difficult? could anyone give me a laymans step by step guid please? any help appreciated as ever...

hello there dude,you"ll be havin some fun when you bleed them yourself.save yourself the hastle and have them flushed and replenished by a reputible firm.i am a subaru technician at leger doncaster and we do bleed outs quite often.problem is you"ll have to do a full flush with new fluid plus pay out for a decent fluid pump and new fluid too.oh and make sure you get the right stuff as we use semi sin dot.plus the best bit is you"ll have some one else to blame if they snap off the blead nipples as they"re usualy rusted up

Mmmmm.. freshly painted calipers....... a quid says you've put them on the wrong side... ie with the bleed nipple at the bottom instead of the top..... if you have, swap them over and re-bleed.... wotsits to it needing to be done by 'reputible firm' (SP??)
It's an easy job!

Apolagies if you've not put them on the wrong side.... but one heck of a lot of people do!!
