Mercedes Vito 639 no reserve travel

[Andrew Roberts]

Hello I failed mot with a lot of things,
One job I have isNo reserve travel on brake pedal
So I have bought four brake callipers (used)
But better than original
Now the help advise I am looking for is the correct way of bleeding
Regardsandy

Best is to buy a positive pressure pump, fill with lots of fluid, screws onto reservoir. Pump up to pressure then release bleed nipple on furthest back caliper until clean fluid comes out. Then repeat with all calipers. Just keep pressure pumped up.

A pressure bleeder is useful.
Start nearest to reservoir 1st and work each till furthest.

I have had issue bleeding the rears through the valve previously but got there in the end.

I also prefer to go back round maybe a week later, after useage, to expel any air that's found its way toward the nipple.
