                                  SEIZED-UP BLEED NIPPLE

HERE IS A TIP WORTH TRYING IF YOU ENCOUNTER A SEIZED BLEED NIPPLE
AND WANT TO BLEED THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
IF THE NIPPLE WON'T UNSCREW DON'T FORCE IT! (LEAVE IT IN PLACE)

HERE IS A TIP GIVEN TO ME FROM A EXPERIENCED MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC:-

BLEED FROM THE UNION!  (WITH A BOWL OR PAN IN PLACE TO CATCH THE FLUID)

USING A SPANNER, CAREFULLY UNSCREW THE UNION ABOUT A QUARTER TURN WITH THE LEFT HAND.
WITH YOUR RIGHT HAND SQUEEZE THE BRAKE LEVER. (BRAKE FLUID IS EXPELLED)
CLOSE THE UNION.

REPEAT THE PROCESS:OPEN THE UNION, SQUEEZE THE BRAKE LEVER,CLOSE THE UNION.
_____________________________________________________________________________

IN MY EXPERIENCE THIS PROCEDURE EXPELS OVER 90% OF THE AIR IN THE BRAKE FLUID.
THE LIFE OF THE BRAKE CALIPER IS THEREFORE EXTENDED!
