what u should do is unsrew the small bolt in the master clyinder (the lever) next to where the pipe.

the unscrew the blot on the clinder <near the pads> u should bleed it from the bottom.

when cerryinging the oil or water threw u should make shure that there isn't any air bubbles in it then srew the bottom bolts in>

some nice easy steps

1)prepare your bits, fill your syringe, make sure the barbs are all on. It also helps to have a tube on the other end of the system to catch the excess fluid (I think the kit comes with the tube) also undo your tpa, but its not so important if you forget.

2) undo the bolt on the slave cylinder (where the pads are)

3) screw the syringe barbe in same hole (8mm spanner needed for the barbs)

4)undo bleed nipple at lever (3mm allen key usually)

5) screw in other pipe (to catch excess fluid, cut up an old milk carton to catch the fluid, get an old spoke and force it though the tub and make it into a hook to put on your bars, keeps a hand free)

6)press syringe untill no bubbles are comming out of the overflow pipe, dont use all the fluid though, leave about a cm in the bottom of the syringe)

7)take out overflow pipe and put the 3mm bolt back in

8) pump the lever, this will force out any remaining air into the syrince (why you left a cm in it, also if you forgot to undo the tpa before you started, now is a good time to do it, it will just suck up fluid from the syringe)

9) remove syring and using a 5mm allen key put bolt back in

The brake should be perfectly bled now, but if it isnt, put the syringe in the lever and pump the lever again, air rises so it will make sure there is no air in at all!

no excuses now lads
