Hi All,

Just having some issues trying to bleed my rear brakes. I have just replaced both the rear brake wheel cylinders but cannot get the left rear brakes to bleed. I am getting some fluid at the brake cylinder but it's very difficult. The pedal stays quite firm even with the nipple open. The right side seems fine. Any ideas?

I'm thinking that the rear hose may have collapsed internally. I did clamp them shut when I changed the brake cylinders and they are definitely old even though externally they seem ok.

Is there anything else I should check before ordering new hoses? I assume the rear bias valve is ok since the right side seems ok.

Thanks for the help.

yep, it will be the hoses

generally that`s all you`ll need if you`ve already done the cyls
