    was a wet day on the coast, so i decided to overhaul both my front brake calipers and bleed the lines properly with doT4 and get air out.

    and you know what, i think the brakes feel about 100% better, and i thought they were good before!!

    yeah i ended up buying a bleeder tube with a 1-way valve, just kept on pumping the front brake until the air bubbles got out of the fluid then tightened off the bleeder valve :) would be heaps easier with a vacuum pump tho

    When replacing your plug caps snip a few mm off the leads to give u some nice shiny wire for the new caps to screw into ..... and be careful to make sure the 'screw' doesnt wander off centre into the rubber shield.
