Bleeding Front Brake

[Scooby]

Hi,

I need to bleed my front brake because it feels dead spongy and I can see a bubble in the reservoir. Anybody tell me where the bleed nipple is on the caliper, or a picture and a circle round the bleed nipple would be great.

Thanks a lot

Thanks G, I thought it was that but I wasn't sure. So do I just need to attach a pipe or something to this then somehow undo it and let the pressure out till the air comes out then top the reservoir back up???

Cheers.

Sorry, my hour took 3 hours lol, my dad was on the pc. Right, it took a bit of doing really, I got some tubing, and bled the fluid, then the pressure seemed to build back up again so I topped up the reservoir, but once I had everything tightened up again and the reservior cap back on it seemed spongy still. So I thought bugger it i'll drain the whole reservoir and line, which I did, and filled it totally with new fluid. Tightened it up and everything now it's sweet as

Thanks for all your help G, much appreciated...must get a bleeding kit though, my tubing was slightly too narrow and I had to stretch it for about 10 minutes before it would fit!!

Once again, cheers G.
