Bleeding rear brake, nipple at lowest point (Rieju RS3 125).

[Riejufixing]

Before I try and bleed the thing, is it likely to be better to take the brake caliper off and invert it to bleed?

in that situation I wouldnt even try, I'd reverse bleed with a syringe.

stinkwheel Well I just had my hands up a pigs fanny. Which makes your concerns pale into insignificance.

I would be inclined to drop the caliper off too, you cannot expect to get good results if the nipple is on the bottom of the cylinder, it's nuts!

Yes, take the caliper off, stick something between the pads and bleed it.

What type uneducated potato designed that?

I'm with virus and his suggestion for reverse bleeding.

The fjr is the same, it’s never been a problem to bleed though.
Never needed to take it off, no need, as matey says you can always reverse bleed
