Thanks to those who responded regarding my request for brake bleeding info.
I decided to have a go at the home made brake bleeder as described on the
Buckeye Triumphs website technical section. Mine varies in that I mounted
the air pressure gauge on the sprayer tank itself instead of the spare MC
cap. I put a 1/4" air fitting on a the spare MC cap. Check out the
original at:
http://www.buckeyetriumphs.org/technical/Brake%20Bleeding/Power%20Brake%20Bleeder.htm.
This is similar to the Eezibleed system. I used a 1 gallon sprayer so it
should hold enough fluid for a complete system flush and bleed. I've pumped
up the tank with air to 20 psi. It's held that pressure for an hour long
"dry" test. I sure don't want to spew brake fluid everywhere!
I'll bleed the brakes on Saturday and give a report then. I plan to use no
more than 16-17 psi for the bleed process. Any ideas how much psi the
system is subjected to under normal brake usage?
Best regards,
