Front brake fluid bleed is easy - bleed one caliper, and then the other. Just don't let the reservoir run dry!
I have been a bit overzealous and this is precisely what happened. What now? I have circulated enough fluid through the system, but still no pressure. I guess there is some air trapped in the system -only two pulls without enough brake fluid did the damage!
I have left the system overnight with lever fully pulled in, gave it a few quick pulls this morning to make air escape, but still no cigar. Air did not escape through the fluid in the brake fluid holder? There is a rubber wit slits that stops anything flowing back to brake reservoir without pressure.
Any suggestions on how to get brake pressure back (and let air escape)?
