How the eff do I do it!!!!

Watched dellboys garage on YouTube... Didnt help I literally have watched 5-6 videos they all have relatively the same idea to them... But what the hell am I doing wrong!

Anyone have a good solid video the one in the sticky doesn't help me either... Or maybe some of you have a step by step you can give me...

2012 custom with 1 caliper!

Help me out folks!!

 

i do mine, and have for years, with a syringe from the caliper.
Get a large syringe fill it with fluid, plug it into the hose on the bleed nipple at the caliper and push the fluid up into the master cylinder. when you get a free flow of fluid with no air bubbles, lock the bleed nipple up and it should be job done. if not repeat the operation.
word of warning, push the syringe slowly or risk bathing everything in fluid.

 

Pretty simple...just apply the brake lever, crack open the bleeder and re-tighten the bleeder before releasing the lever. Do this several times and you will begin to get somewhat of a brake action at the lever...ensure you do not allow the fluid level to drop too low during this process. Once you have the beginning of a lever pull (it will be a weak one), stop there and button everything up. Use a bungee cord or piece of rope to tie the lever back and leave it alone overnight...the next morning all of the remaining air will have been purged and you will have a tight, high lever action.

 

+1 - on both of the above methods.

Another option is to install Speed Bleeders, they're about $7.00 ea.
speedbleeder.com p/n SB8125L

 

go to the local auto parts store , buy a vacuum bleeder kit 25.00 , they work great you attach the hose to the fitting , open it , pump a vacuum let it drain and keep the resivoir filled with fresh fluid as it drains , when fresh fluid reaches the resivour youre done close fitting . top off resivoir close things up.

 

I have always used the second method but I like the syringe idea. I'll give that a try next time.

 

+1 on the "SpeedBleeders"

 

That's the way I do all my bikes. You can flush the old fluid out and fill everthing in a few minutes.

 

Once you have the beginning of a lever pull (it will be a weak one), stop there and button everything up. Use a bungee cord or piece of rope to tie the lever back and leave it alone overnight...the next morning all of the remaining air will have been purged and you will have a tight, high lever action.

After I button it up Iremove the caliper . Pump it up till thepads come together. Wait a minute and pry the pads back allthe back in ,wait a minute and repeat 3 times . reaply caliper and have a great lever and don't have to wait overnight...
