Literally bleeding brakes. The front disk on Project Kate just will not bleed. New Goodridge hose so I am expecting a lot of air. Been pumping away all afternoon Matron and no joy....... ooer!
Any advice please?

Spooky. A similar thread on that problem has been/is under way in the 'Modern AJS' section.

Go top right on your screen and click on the upside down arret (!) under the last visit time, then click on the "Recent Topics". Then filter throug the posts with the red arrows at the side (no roundels) as they're the ones you've not read yet.

Re: Bleeding Brakes!
back bleed it from the bleed nipple back up to the master cylinder using a clean oil pump can .
slacken the union on the brake flexi to master cylinder first and get the fluid up to that and all air out of the caliper and flexi pipe etc , then tighten union and it might start pumping .
you can then bleed it in normal way from the bleed nipple on the caliper .
if the master cylinder wont pump at first try putting your finger over the outlet port and it might prime itself , but it may squirt out so be carefull ..
