    Do i bother with the cyclinders or just keep bleeding the callipers?

    I'v noticed if i press the brake pull the hydro hand brake just a tiny bit without it engageing it will keep good pressure!

    if you have some pressure, bleed the cylinders first, does your hydro have a bleed nipple?

    way i done it was bleed the brake pedal till you get decent flow of fluid out the bleed nipples then press the brake down an as soon as its down pull the handbrake wile the pedal is still down...keep doin this until ya get good pressure in both an job done
