Brake fluid change
#7
I use a piece of tube, plastic/rubber, thin just enough to put over the bleed nipple. Bought from DIY store. Bought another, thinner transparent tube to put into it, zip tie it. Than 3rd one, thinnest. This lets me see the flow and any bubbles. I pump old oil out and as it pours out I add fresh oil in. So bubbles never get in the system at all. It's a different sport if you clean calipers and take the whole pistons out. Then you need to drain all the bubbles.


It looks like this, with tubes overlaping a bit:

Stars are the bleed nipple.
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
