it should be self explanatory when you see it, but pretty much just take off, put on new and bleed.nee nar nee nar, i'm a fire engine!

easiest with an "E Z Bleed"... it's about a fiver and has a one way valve and a bottle to collect the fluid so you don't need 2 people!
all that and i didn't mention nipple once!
edit:
and now someone will come back and say it's only like that on a cortina... japanese technology advances mean that you need a small japanese boy to crwal down the pipe and loosen it from the inside!Last edited by dabigman; 28 June 2004, 00:02.nee nar nee nar, i'm a fire engine!
