328, MK1 Clio 1.4
Hai,
(Cooper S, not a Clio) Going to be doing this this afternoon, just trying to get the process correct in my head. Is the following correct? I only have two axel stands, so will have to do one axel at a time.
I have a brake bleeding kit, and I know there is a special tool for the rear brakes, stainless hoses, 1l of 5.1 fluid and the pads. What else do I need?
- put the front up on axel stands and remove wheels.
- dissasemble caliper and replace front pads
- compress the cylinder and re-assemble caliper housing
- repeat on other front side
- bleed the system until it is running dry on one caliper (is this correct?)
- bleed on the opposite side until it runs dry
- replace rubber hoses with staininless steel ones
- wheels back on
- jack up rear, remove wheels, and repeat above for rear brakes?
This is the part I am unsure of, do I then just fill the system up and bleed the brakes on each wheel? Do I need to bleed the clutch too?
Sorry for the lengthy post. Any help appreciated.
