chippychip123 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think near side is curb side mate, so I think you've got them back to front Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 That makes sense then with the order to do them in that was quoted earlier. I can blame not born on a left hand side driving country can someone confirm 100 before I change it around?

chrisballuk Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 That looks like a handy bit of kit. Are they one way valves on the ends. Where can i get one of those? both at same time. Thats just showing off Of course it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigy hardcore Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Excellent post... I really should have checked here before heading up to the garage earlier today My mate and I tried to bleed the brakes but didn't realise there are in fact 2 nipples..... So can someone please confirm that the bleeding procedure is as straight forward as... 1. Fill reservoir with brake fluid 2. Attach hose to nipple (inner first, outer last, or both at same time if your a guru) 3. Pump peddle until all old brake fluid is clear 4. tighten nipple... I have another question but I'll create a new post as I'm not sure its directly connected to this Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andlid Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Dont pump... press down twice hold it down on second, open nipple and close... don't let go of pedal, repeat. If you do it to much you'll get air in the fluid.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmck13 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I tell you something folks I have no intention of bleeding mine but I've had a hell of a laugh reading this topic from start to finish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do it to much you'll get air in the fluid.... Have a helper pump two or three times on the pedal and keep pressure on and shout READY. You open the bleed nipple and pedal goes to the floor. When fliud stops coming out tighten it again and shout RELEASE. Helper can then release their foot and prime system again. Repeat that a few times on each side. Very important that while you have the nipples open that the pedal pressure is kept on. Also keep an eye on the resevior, dont let it drop below minimum.

tprice Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 at work we have a machine that is mains powered, you fill it with fluid, switch it on, connect it to the reservoir, then open the nipples and it bleeds through, nice and simple, only problem is, it doenst fit over the 350z reservoir!!!!!!!!!!! so ill be making some modifications to it!!!

The pic above has one way valves on the bleeder pipes so surely it is a case of just keep pumping the pedal & topping up the reservoir as air can't be sucked back into the system?

Dave J Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I've just swapped my standard brakes to Brembos and i've tried bleeding them several times today They seem to firm up but i start the engine, press the brake pedal and it just sinks to the floor. I start the bleeding process all over again and although i thought i'd got all the air out when i try again it's just like doing it all again for the first time with loads of air coming out again......................what am i doing wrong Dave.

Sounds like you may have a leak from one of the pipes/hoses etc unless you are really fooking up with the bleeding process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave J Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Thanks Alex, i did think i may have cross threaded the drivers side brake line (at the point where it fits into the chassis holder) but i couldn't see any leaks and it seemed to go back together ok. After 3 hours of trying to bleed the brakes i did notice a tiny drop of fluid there, would this cause a huge ingress of air? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a leak then the pedal will go to the floor mate, especially when you start the engine and the servo kicks in. Get some one to press the brake pedal while you search for the leak.

Dave J Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I shall check again tomorrow, many thanks for your help If it is a brake line do you stock them? I also still need a bonnet release cable if you have them? Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
