June 24, 200620 yr You wouldn't want his mate...... spends too much time bouncing down things I replaced the piston inside my rear master cylinder just after i got my Beta and syringe bled it.... but used it as a vacuum blead, drawing the oil through with it rather than pushing it back. You can turn the piston seals inside out if you pressure from the caliper backwards. I know as it did it to me. took it apart and discovered the lip seal had folded back. Drawing down towards the caliper worked a treat on mine.... I thought about self abuse earlier too get in before you done but thought na!!! wish I had now!!!! I been thinking about what you said about the seal and it really doesn`t make much logical sense? Think about it..... no matter how the oil goes into the system its only ever going too put pressure on the pistons/seals one way no? Just a thought
June 24, 200620 yr I did a good bleeding job on my lads Rev50 this week. Brake was excellent yesterday, and for the first few sections today. Then all of a sudden nothing. Bugger - back to square one Strip down this week. I'm Ok with the caliper end, but anybody know how much you can do with the cylinder end?

I know on the bigger machines BVM sell the AJP kits that includes the piston and seals I believe for just over 11 quid HTH
June 26, 200620 yr At 50 quid I'd rather impale my forehead on the bleed nipple, and stick the compressor up my 4rse

June 27, 200620 yr ... and there was a bloke locked up in an isolation tank at the time............... He was the last linesman.
June 27, 200620 yr Mmmm...I wish I could think of something witty to say...I just cant stop wondering if you're pulling my leg r2w..or should I say OUR LEGS. Somehow though I think this thread is not gonna get anywhere close to talking about rear brakes ever again!!!!
