DOT 5 in your eye?
1.Take the lid of the master cylinder 2.Put a ring spanner on the bleed nipple 3.Run a piece of plastic hose from the bleed nipple into a glass bottle 4.Get the missus to pump the brake lever a few times and hold it in tight (dont let go until step six or air will get in the line) 5.Open the bleed nipple until fluid runs out 6.Close bleed nipple 7.Get the missus to pump the lever a few times and hold it in tight etc, etc, etc. Dont forget to fill up the master cylinder as you go.
No worries Roka, and if you wanna stick brake fluid in your eye then go ahead and do it, its your fucking eye, screw em.
Oh yeah, the seal on the master cylinder can be a bitch sometimes. When you are screwing the lid back on try to hold the seal in as tight as you can while you tighten the screws back up. Its a bit late to tell you this (because it looks like you have already started) but its a good idea to put some towels over your tank before you begin and when you are finished wash everything down with water because dot 4 lifts paintwork.
I musta missed something with all this agro going on, I just thought Rocka made a mistake and was trying to learn the correct way of doing something ??
Roka, i'm new here, looks like you got it sorted out, just thought i'd say there is also easy bleed , its a gizmo that you use to change the brake fluid and bleed the brakes faster it sucks the fluid through the caliper bleed nipple, but the way you did it works too fust takes longer.
cheers
Just had my front brake lid and rubber changed under warranty on the 1 year service. Common poblem with the 08 up models as HD has changed from DOT 5 back to DOT4. I looks like the rubber soaks with fluid and wets the paint, then it bubbles up and ........... Keep an eye out and keep on your local stealer for replacement.
