Overhauling the brakes on the truck, with new discs/pads and replacing the brake fluid (I don't need to worry about the shoes as Tony sorted them earlier this year).
Now I started today changing the dics and pad, and due to stuck bolts and rain after 4 hours I've managed one side (I have sprayed every thing with easy ease before packing up so hopefully tomorrow will be better).
Tomorrow I hope to complete the other side and do the flush/bleed. I've just finished reading all I could find using the search, and just want to get confirmed by those with more knowledge than me that I've understood it right.
First I bleed the near side rear (being furthest from the brake cylinder) until the clean fluid comes through the line, then it's o/s rear, n/s front, o/s front, followed by the LSPV.
I've only ever bleed brakes on bikes before and I'm prsuming that it is the same set up. With the engine off put the bleed kit (one way valve on a pipe with a little tab that holds it onto the nipple) onto the nipple, open the nipple slightly and get some one to pump the pedal until the fluid is clear and buble free, ensuring that the container never runs dry.
Have I got every thing correct?
