Technical DIYing brake pipes..

[g4jvf]

Well, a bit of a sprottle but that's more to do with my duff back..
Anyhoo, got the front brakes fully re-piped and the new callipers fitted.
Nice gleaming stainless nipples and the carriers came up well on the wire wheel..

Been bleeding each corner as I've been doing the repairs so now I need to do a full bleed in the correct sequence..at least now, all the fluid is new..
Only thing I've noticed is a bit of fluid appearing on the ledge of the reservoir just below the cap. Wondering if the cap seal isn't quite right..

Very pleased to have got it done but without you guy's help and advice, there would have been no way in hell. Thanks muchly

Finaly got all four corners bled in the correct sequence and managed
to squeeze a bit more air out...Brakes working much better now.

Got a master cylinder in stock for when I get the urge to swap it.
Mine isn't faulty but since the new one was so cheap, I decided it
was worth doing whilst I've got the brake tools out.
All the unions have been freed and the back bolts move OK so should
go well if it ever stops raining out there...

Do I need to bench bleed the new master cylinder?
Been watching too many Youtube car fixing videos

I've never found bleeding the master cylinder essential on Centos.
