As per title really, just fitted new sintered pads and decided to change the brake fluid as it didn't look right. So question, do you have to bleed off both calipers at the same time?

Thanks,

oni

You can if you want to, but you'll just be wasting time and fresh brake fluid, really.

Better to bleed just one at a time Thumbs Up

I did wonder about that myself, but I didn't like to ask Shocked

Perhaps he's/she's more used to syphoning fuel from someone else's tank Laughing

Im fine btw, it was a combination of brake dust, copper grease, wd40 and dot 4 but im made of strong stuff.

Brakes are incredible now - I suppose sintered pads would be impressive when compared to the down to the metal nonsense it was at before I changed it.

Thanks for the help,

slanj
