bikerboysam1 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Right... I have an oil splitter on my rear HS33, and I need to re-bleed it. (Which I have never done before , but I think know how) So, I was just wondering, which is the slave cylinder/which cylinder do I use to bleed the brake? Or doesn't it really matter? Also, does it matter if my TPA doesn't work? and What can I do about that TPA, if anything? Thanks a lot,Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkey gav Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 don't think it really matters the best way to find out would be to try it for yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 If its a 2005 Maggie and the TPA is f**ked then, in my experience your'e stuck, I've tried EVERYTHING to get that b*****d thing fixed but to no luck.The cheapest option, insteaded of replacing with another 05 blade, is to get an 04 lever and body, the TPA is better, and if that screws up, its a quick and easy bodge.I've found no bodge for the 05, but someone might have...if so please share Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaRtZ Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 The slave cylinders are, regardless if you're standing on your head etc. always the bits which the pads clip into.and yeah if your TPA has gone fraid its a new lever....

I have just realised that the question wasn't very clear. What I meant was: Which cylinder (on the rear), do I put the bleeding hose into? Or doesn't it matter?Thanks though Sam Edited January 25, 2006 by bikerboysam1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was: Which cylinder (on the rear), do I put the bleeding hose into? There should only be one place for it to go. The main hose + crossover will go into the primary (first slave in the line) and then the crossover + the bleed bolt will go in the otherWhere you get them cheap little things from dave? We're not all as clever as you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikerboysam1 Posted January 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Or £3 for a new oneThanks mate, but my lever it the old one (Raceline yellow) with the other type of TPA.Thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Me.With the Monty splitters, if you just need to bleed the brake to get air out of the lever then either side will do. If its a complete oil change then empty it completely, bleed one side first, then the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're not all as clever as you Well, I haven't got the 'crossover' bit, I have an 'oil splitter' instead. So there isn't a primary cylinder...It probably doesn't matter then?EDIT: Ok, thanks dave, I will just bleed both sides and see how it goes.

Matt_Tupman Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 I've always bleed from the top down when i had a splitter that to me seems the easyest way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
