Big puddle of Brake fluid........

[macarthur.2000]

MOrning,

Just came out of my house to go to work, big puddle of brake fluid at the back wheel. After closer inspection found that it was coming from the brake nipple, no obvious damage.- took it off and found it's stripped (wasn't me as Shaggy would say, lol). The brakes have been a bit soft since it was in at my local garage recently, just thought it was new pads.

So, my problem is a system thats now dry. I know I have to be careful when I refil, air in the master cylinder and all that. Can anyone tell me the process??

Thanks

Neil

Don't use the car until its fixed ! Only use pressure system of filling & bleeding . If you havn't got one , Halfords do one for less than £20 - comes with full instructions.

thanks,

took the bike, lol.

I've got a pressure bleeder refiller so will use that once the new calliper comes tomorrow.

Just worried I'd put air in on ruin the cylinder, dont fance paying £140 for a new one plus fitting.
