Guest choppa7 Posted August 13, 2008 I need to replace a brake line on a 205 GR. I'm just wondering if there is such a thing as a brake line drain point or something which means I can let the fluid out in a controlled manenr rather than just jacking up the car and letting it pour over me when I begin undoing the connectors? failing that, does anyone know how much fliud is in the lines so I know what size container to get ready for it piddling out of the pipes? Cheers in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Baz 421 Posted August 13, 2008 Depends how long you take! No drain point as such no. But you can clamp the flexi's to stop too much leaking, depending on which line you need to change. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackherer 543 Posted August 13, 2008 Use a large syringe to take as much as possible out of the reservoir then put a plastic tube on each bleed nipple in turn and gently pump the brake pedal to expel the fluid. Expect some snapping bleed nipples. You could clamp off some lines like Baz said but its probably wise to flush all the fluid through and bleed it thoroughly.

Guest choppa7 Posted August 13, 2008 ok thanks chaps, its a centre solid pipe which needs replacing so no joy with clamping the flexi, I do want to replace the fluid at the same time though so I suppose its just a case of suck and see lol Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
