I'm sorting out my brakes this friday, but I need a few pointers before I start! I'm replacing the fluid, pads and discs at the front (rears are fine).
1. I'm going from DOT 4 to 5.1, so I need to flush all the old stuff out first. Presumably I don't want 4 and 5.1 in the rear and front circuits, so I need to drain the *entire* system. I'm clueless on this step, any pointers very welcome!
2. When putting the pads back on, will just normal pliers do for pushing the piston back in on the inside pad?
3. Should I change the pads and discs and then refill and bleed (to flush), or in some other order?
4. I'm bleeding using on of those reserve air pressure kits, any tips?
Big thanks to Wobbly Dave and bobcat for their guides on brake changing that I'll be printing out tomorrow!
Many thanks! Before this I've only ever changed the brakes on my bicycle lol so seriously any advice is appreciated Ovlov
