How-To: Bleeding the Brakes

[chadwicke619]

Sorry to revive an old post but what is the size of the wrench you need to use for the bleeder valves? is it a 11MM and is the size the same for the front and rear?

Assuming the FL5 is the same as the FK8, you’ll want 10 and 11MM flare nut wrenches - the front and rears are different sizes.

Thanks

I found a catch bottle that actually has two sets of tubing and can actually bleed both the inside and outside bleeder valves for the front simultaneously.

Do you guys think that would be fine or if it would cause a problem?

I've seen videos and people say to do inside then out? But I feel like thats only if you are doing one valve at a time.

Has the vid been re-shot yet?,, I plan on doing a full fluid change over from OEM to Motul 660 and need to see the procedure first.

I haven't shot it yet. I need to get off my a** and just get it done! I'll make it a priority!

Im going to give it a try on the weekend using one of those positive pressure bottles, once im done with the callipers and given the hand brake 5 cycles ill re-bleed the rear callipers then move onto the clutch and do that aswell.

Any chance you could include the clutch fluid swap in the vid?

Sure thing. I plan to remove the clutch delay valve as well.
