After replacing front discs and pads, rear wheel cylinders and brake shoes, I am puzzled as to where I should start the brake bleeding process!
In Triumph Repair Operations Manual, and Autobooks MK2 Manual, it says,\"Start by bleeding the front caliper nearest to the master cylinder first, and then bleed progressively away from the master cylinder.\"
In the Haynes Manual, it says,\"Bleed the rear brakes first, and start with the brake furthest away from the master cylinder.\"
Which is the correct proceedure to use? Can anyone help please?
Regards,...........Barry.

Same here. Start furthest away and work to the nearest.
I know use a large vacuum pump for bleeding brakes. I can best describe it has a very big needle (like they stick in you arm!) but with out the needle!!
You connect it to a bleed nipple with a piece of clear hose, open the bleed nipple and pull the plunger out. Out comes the air and the fluid in one shot! Close the nipple and move onto the next! Simple as that. Cost me about £3.00 at an autojumble and it\'s the best couple oif quid I have ever spent!

Hello Alan,
that\'s a new one on me but so obvious now you mention it. I have a similar syringe, but I use it for filling gearboxes and back axles. I see no reason why it wouldn\'t work.
I normally use an Easy Bleed but getting a good seal can sometimes be a problem with subsequent messy leaks.
Thanks for the tip.
