changing brake pads
« on: 10 February 2009, 23:38:34 »
when pushing back the piston, is it advisable to undo the bleed nipple in order to prevent brake fluid going up or would this not be a problem on the Omega?

Best practice is to clamp the hose and then open the bleed nipple to expend the fluid when the piston is pushed back.   Same when renewing the brake fluid every 2 years.....    :o
