Hi, after having spent 12 months replacing or rebuilding every hydraulic component in SRH40222, today was bleeding day. I think I've sucessfully done it, however, I have a question.

When bleeding using low pressure for all the break calipers, how much fluid should come out? Fluid came through, but not a huge amount. It also eventually ran clear of bubbles. I haven't yet completed the high pressure bleeding, so haven't yet pressurised the system. Thought I'd check on here as to how much fluid I should expect when doing low pressure bleeding.

Thanks,
John

The quantity will vary depending on how much air is entrapped in the system; just continue bleeding until no air bubbles are evident.
