Since I am waiting for my heads to come back I figure I would install the speedy bleeders. Rear one went in no problem, bleeder is on rear of caliper and only got a drop of brake fluid out when I removed the old bleeder.

Front ones are a different story, the bleeder is in the brake line where it attaches to the caliper. I put a half inch wrench on the larger bottom part and started to remove the top (bleeder) and brake fluid started draining out so I tightened it back up.

Question: It seems that the fluid will just keep leaking, so how do I get the new bleeder in without losing all the fluid? Or will it eventually stop coming out since I am not putting any pressure on the master cylinder?

 

I just removed the stock bleeders and installed the Speed Bleeders. If any fluid was lost it didn't matter because I bleed the all three brake lines until all the old fluid was out and new fluid was in. If you have over 10,000 miles on the bike and never changed out the fluid, nows a perfect time to do it. Also clean out the black residue that is probably on the bottom of your master cylinders.

 

dont worry it will stop loosing fluid when it runs out...

 

No problem just replace it, I lost fluid too. Leave the master cylinder cover on. Then bleed the system afterwards, both front and rear.

 

Thanks, that is the plan once I get the bleeders in, full flush.
Just didn't want brake fluid running all over the place and didn't want all the fluid to leak out of the master cylinder.
BTW....I have ABS

 

So do I....No worries.....Just protect your paint from the fluid....
