Disks or Drums :?:

Assuming drums....go out and have another look...say passengers side, to the right of the drum at the back....you will see a pipe coming in and the bleeder is above that pointing up at an angle.

Start back passenger side (furthest away from master) and work your way towards the master cylinder, for best results.

If the pipe is rusted through...then replace the lot....the chances are they will all be in the same condition....take yours as samples to a brake place and they will make them up for you :idea:

they arent actuall too bad..it was just the connection of one of the hoses - the bolt was slightly threaded and there was fluid leaking from there.
