<P dir=ltr>I would use a baster to suck as much fluid out of the reservoir. Be careful, brake fluid can eat your paint. Then open up all four brake bleed screws. Good time to flush your system. Yes bench bleed MC.<BR>Keep track of any shims between Mc and firewall.<BR>Keep everything clean and use latex gloves. Check to be sure pushrod pin loop is not elongated, as the wear out.<BR>Be sure to open up slave cyl. Too to remove old fluid from clutch</P>

<DIV>This week I am going to replace the brake master cylinder, fluid reservoir and flexible brake pipes on my BT7. What is the best order to do these three steps?<BR>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Will I need to bench bleed the MC?<BR>Do I need to make any adjustments to the brakes before the bleeding step?<BR>Should I drain all the fluid out of the system before replacing the reservoir?<BR>Any advice welcome.<BR>Phil</DIV></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Support Team.Net <A href="http://www.team.net/donate.html" rel=noreferrer target=_blank>http://www.team.net/donate.html</A><BR>Suggested annual donation $12.75<BR>Archive: <A href="http://www.team.net/archive" rel=noreferrer target=_blank>http://www.team.net/archive</A><BR>Forums: <A href="http://www.team.net/forums" rel=noreferrer target=_blank>http://www.team.net/forums</A><BR><BR><A href="mailto:Healeys@autox.team.net" target=_blank>Healeys@autox.team.net</A><BR><A href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys" rel=noreferrer target=_blank>http://autox.team.net/mailman/listinfo/healeys</A><BR><BR>Unsubscribe/Manage: <A href="http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/eyera3000@gmail.com" rel=noreferrer target=_blank>http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/healeys/eyera3000@gmail.com</A><BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Support Team.Net http://www.team.net/donate.html<BR>Suggested annual donation $12.75<BR>Archive: http://www.team.net/archive<BR>Forums: http://www.team.net/forums<BR>
