Reply To: A40 Somerset front brakes bleed nipple position

Hi Richard yes I found it fairly straightforward. I started by bleeding the back brakes conventionally then used the pump to do the front 2 then all round all 4 a few times with the pressure on. I found I needed plenty of fluid in the pump but once done easy enough to just pour the excess back into the original container for topping up if needed. Big advantage of putting the system under constant pressure was it  exposed a loose union leaking at the master cylinder that I might not have noticed otherwise.

So yes great tip!

Good luck with the Standard.
