Rear brake bleed.. - johna6968 - 26-12-13
Merry Xmas to all..
Just fitted new set of rear pads to my low mileage 02 Boxeye.. Cleaned and lubricated the Pistons (sticking pistons I take it was the demise of the original set of brake pads), plenty copperslip and all back together, working a treat
.. Will be changing fluid soon. Im sure this has been asked before but is there a particular order to bleed the 2 rear caliper bleed nipples?.. Had a few bikes that had this set up but never confirmed if there is a right order or way to bleed the rear for the best..Thanks in advance John

Don't think I've ever done it in any particular order and it's always worked.
I'd use red rubber grease on your brake piston too, don't think coppaslip is too good for your seals. Might be wrong though. :o
Re: Rear brake bleed.. - johna6968 - 26-12-13
Copperslip was only used on backs of pads, pins and caliper bolts
.. Like you say stevierst, red rubber grease the way to go around seals n pistons.. Maybe there isnt a specific order to bleed after all.. Re: Rear brake bleed.. - stevierst - 26-12-13
Aah, gotcha. I'll just high five myself in the face for being stupid. :-X

Just re read my original post and to be fair it did sound like I had bathed the lot in the mighty copperslip :rolleyes
