Hi,

I was not aware that there are two Bleed Valves on each Caliper. Are you certain? It's the first I've heard of it. Is this a Big Brake feature?

If indeed there are two Bleed Valves, then I suspect you need to bleed them both. Hope this helps...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

Yes, there are definitely two bleeders per wheel, even without Big Reds. You bleed both. I don't have the instructions handy, but I believe it is the same sequence mentioned above and then for a given wheel bleed inboard first then outboard bleeder.

Any one have a good link for knowing how to or what is involved in flushing the clutch fluid??? Is it absolutely necessary and will the old fluid in the clutch comtaminate the fresh fluid in the brakelines?? Also, how much brake fluid will I need to do a complete flush of the brakes only??

Thanks in advanced!

Jeff.
