Bleeding Caterham large front calipers

[Garth]

Planning on replacing brake fluid tomorrow. Have newish front calipers which I see have two bleed nipples one on either side of the caliper.

Do I put pipes on each of them and bleed them at the same time? (bit tricky!?) Or do I do each side individually?

Thanks

Just do one bit of each caliper at a time.

There's a recommended sequence: previous discussions.

First bleed the caliper closest to the master cylinder first bleed the inner side of the caliper until there is fluid coming out of it the do the outer side until there is fluid coming out of it then go back to the inner one and bleed until there is no air coming out of it next do the same with the outer one.

From the Assembly Guide:

"The uprated front brakes have two bleed screws on each calliper. Remove the dust cover from the inboard bleed screw on the front LH calliper. Connect the flexible tube to the bleed screw and operate the brake pedal several times. Whilst mounting pressure on the brake pedal open the bleed screw and allow compressed air and brake fluid to flow into the container. Tighten the bleed screw before the pedal is released. Repeat the procedure until no air bubbles are visible in the released brake fluid. Remove the flexible tube and replace the dust cap. Carry out the procedure for the outboard bleed screw.
As a final check on system integrity, apply pressure to the brake pedal and check all connections and bleed screws for any sign of leakage."

So, yes -- inboard followed by outboard.

Thanks all - brakes done now and a short test run to check them! Also check that the new LSD diff was working! Car moved and went around corners so I guess it must be fine!!?
