hi
carried out a search but can't find the best way to bleed my brakes on my landy 90td

the front brakes work great but it appears the rear brakes do not brake very well in fact the pedal feels soft checked today no fluid leaks well no brake fluid, adjusted rear brakes

the landy pasted the MOT several months ago and the brakes where all chaged at that time and where good

how do i bleed them?????

many thanks

if you want the rest of the manual, just delete the number4 from the address bar (last digit) and enter 1. that will give you book1 and the main index.

mines still on axle stands with some 200tdi calipers which need modifying and fitting on the bench. plenty of work left yet and an MOT to earn!

just finished changing the rear axle on the 90 to a disco axle with disc brakes, took her out for a test drive what a difference in the braking can now stop the 90 on a sixpence

was looking for assistance and to build up my knowledge, just to make sure i have everything working correctly

since changing the axle as stated my brakes are 100% better

did the balancing act with the disc's before i fitted them so i know the disc's are well and truly balanced

many thanks
