adz_sportif_turbo Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 when i got the car...the lad had already fitted the glanza rear axle to accomodate for the discs...problem is though hees drained the system in doing it (numpty!!). i presume there is still some fluid in the system...due to the front brakes havnt been tampered with, and im hoping that the master cylinder is still fine...but how should i go about in re-filling the system?? I've done brake bleeding plenty of times before but I've never came across a dry system :S Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Isn't it just a case off filling it up, bleeding the system then topping up if need be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adz_sportif_turbo Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 ahh really!! ok cool!! i thought that i might need to prime the master cylinder or something along those lines!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 dont quote me on that..might be worth waiting for someone who has more knowledge than myself Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 yea that sounds bout right, just top up and pump the pedal a few times before bleeding, so you get some oil in the lines Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 dont have to prime anything, just fill it up and proceed as normal. giving the calipers a good thump with a hammer helps once its full. helps get air bubbles moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EN V Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 right this is my field first of all undo the rear bleed nipples and fill the master to the brimthis is called gravety bleed you may need to tap the flexy hoses to help the fluid throughthis should stop getting an air lock in the systemonce your at this stage its just a case of bleeding as normal starting withthe ferthest away from the master cylinder and doing one corner at a timethis job would be alot easier with a preasure bleeder though.there is nothing to primehope this helpsjohn Quote Link to post Share on other sites
