i'll try it with a clutch slave next time but I still think its a good idea to know (and have the right tools on hand) how to bleed the system with the brake slave should you do more than a clutch slave. |
For a 100% job you needed to push a caliper piston in 2-3mm on both front and one rear wheel to push the bubble in the loop of the pipe into the M/C. But I'm not surprised you got away with it.
Likewise with the caliper, bench bleed and pressure bleed using the caliper piston. Leave the piston on the bleeder side about 6mm out - but I guess you'd figure that
.
I personally prefer to treat the two systems as a separate entity for the reasons I mentioned.
