I have fitted new stainless steel HEL brake lines and new pads a few weeks ago.
The front went on and I fitted it all no probs and bled the brake through and it works.
Its not as amazing as I thought it would be considering I fitted new pads and HEL lines though.
As for the back brake, I fitted the HEL line and pads at the same time and then when it came to undo the bleed nipple, it snapped off! So I have only managed to replace the full caliper yesterday with a new one.
I have tried and tried to bleed the rear brake and set it up the way I did the front and it just doesn't work.
I can push down on the rear brake pedal and it does nothing. Can ride along as usual.
So who's got any tips, tricks or even just straight advice on how to do this the best way?
I also made this (see picture below) which enabled me to bleed my front brake in about 30 seconds.
Worked a treat on the front, but just cannot get to grips with the rear brake.
