Can anyone tell me if i should get a good "squirt" when bleeding front brakes on my cossie? ive replaced the pump and accumulator unit, new caliper bled the system but it just oozes out from the bleed nipples. The pistons are moving but not enough so ive got no braking effort at the front. Any ideas please.
Many thanks.

Better to bleed brakes with stready movement of the pedal, this will give you stready flow of brake fluid out of the bleed nipple.
Squirt, NO.

 

I thought u were meant to use the ABS pump to bleed them personally

 

had this happen on my capri and the flexi brake pipes had collapsed inside so caliper couldnt get enough oil to work properly. that just did a measley dribble when trying to bleed it.

 

You wont get a huge gush.
Best way is to PRESSURTE BLEED THEM, fronts can be done normally, rear can be done by disconnecting abs pump then turning ignition to 1, then pressure bleed.
I use a GUNSONS EEZI BLEED, works great just lower tyre pressure to what it says on bottle, about 20 psi if I rememeber right.
Braided lines do make a nice improvement.

Thanks for the replys fellas. The battery was low too so that didnt help matters (tit!) the pedal has firmed up nicely now, hopefully enough for the MOT.
Cheers.
