Brake Bleeding - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

bobbyhi · 01-10-2007

OK guys/gals, I have a couple of probably stupid questions regarding bleeding the brakes. I bought a pressure bleeder and I am wondering if I have to:

1. Empty the resevoir before I put on the bleeder?
2. The rear resevoir - does this "drain" when the pressure is applied?
If not, how does that fluid leave the system?

I am assuming that the "front" resevoir is the one to put the bleeder on.

I know that this is pretty easy for you that fix and re-build your engines but I have never used a pressure bleeder before and I don't want to screw things up. Thanks for your help!!!
