Re: Brake System Flush
ya, they are self bleeding.
you will still need to put a wrench on them to open them up, but it is like only a 1/4 to 1/2 a turn. put a tube on it and pump the brake till its just all fluid. then tighten it up to close off the valve.
so here is an edit to clarify the steps above.
3. loosen the bleeder valve 1/4 to 1/2 a turn then attached a tube over the bleed valve and run to a bucket.
obviously you will want to tighten the valve when done. might sure it is nice and tight.
i bought a couple bottles of fluid, so i went pretty heavy on bleeding the fluid come out. i also wanted to make sure i flushed out whatever was left in after i drained it.
i would return the kit you bought, and spend like $1 on tubing (forgot the size) if it will fit over a zerk fitting, it will fit on the valve.
i picked up 2 ft worth, but only needed about 1ft to the bucket.. i cut it short so i could watch the fluid coming out. this is just a standard air vacuum hose/tubing.
didnt need anythign fancy, just needed something so it wouldnt cause a mess on the ground, and allowed me to collect all the fluid in the bucket. if you dont use a tube or hose, it will get very messy, and make it difficult to watch the bleeding. if you had the choice, pick up clear tubing to make it simplier.
