- Front Brake Caliper page 3

Once the discs calipers and pads have been fitted, next is the brake bleed. I favour the "eazi bleed" system, I hook this to my compressor with about 15psi, there are bleed nipples either side of the caliper, both of which need bleeding. The inner will clear the air first, the outer took a lot longer. I found it helps to tap the caliper with the hide of a copper hide mallet. The offside caliper proved difficult to get all the air out, in the event I used 2ltr of fluid whereas before I have used only 1 ltr.
I used Halfords dot 5.1 non-silicone brake fluid.
