AJS & Matchless Owners Club

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.

Cheers, I'll take a peek

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 ..
