Back Brakes are a bit tight
Permalink  
 


ive recently had to replace the gold clips that hold the brake pad in place, but now i have put everything back together my back brake seems to be on, and my brake pedal is very spongy, any suggestions apart from going to the garage?

If you using the thumb and pump method.. hard to get rightnono
I tried it, ended up buying a bleed kit off ebay with a pipe .. i couldnt fit any soft pipe to fit tightly.. the kit i bought was taped pipe.. the bore size changes throughout the pipe, so it fits any bleed screw.
