Brake Bleeding

Recommended Posts

vince

hi guys,

 

it has probably been dealt before, but in case you don't know there is a really easy way to bleed your brakes without any helper:

-use a breathing oxygen supply hose.

 

if you can get one, you will see the hose diameter is exactly what you need, and then, and here is the trick, they are equipped with non return valves, hence you just plug it over the bleed bolt, unscrew it, brake until you don't have anymore air, retighten the bolt, and so on at the 4 corners.

 

10 to 15 minutes to bleed the 4 brakes, on your own.

 

now, the question is where can you find such a hose? I don't know... is the answer.... seriously, I get mine from my work. they are provided for portable oxygen bottles onboard aircraft, as spare parts. you may try your chance at your local hospital at your next visit... ;)

 

hope it helped

you can buy pipes like that from motor factors that are designed for the purpose.
