Right, as some may know ive had trouble with replacing my brake pads...
after 2 days of pissing about with it i found out my caliper had siezed up and that need a new one Crying or Very sad i got a 2nd hand one for 47 quid (almost) mint and next day delivery Very Happy putting it on today put it on but i cant get the brakes to like, well... brake, the fluid just aint going im not to sure what to say, i think i need a step by step from when its all connected up onwards.

Cheers.

Take bottom banjo off, fill resevoir. Put fingers either side of banjo. Pump brake lever, let air out, when you release lever seal banjo with fingers. It helps get fluid down a new line. Only way i could find to get it when i got a braided hose. Then connect banjo back up and blead as normal. Get not return vavle from car shop,£3, then put in bottle of fluid and pump lever. Very recomended to use proper bleader spanner £3, if you manage to grind off hex bit on bolt then a new blead nipple costs £7, trust me , ive done it all!!
