    Just a quick one, need to bleed my brake system but not worked on a car with a hydro fitted. I'm guessing you bleed the brakes as normal then bleed the hydro up?

    Just bleed the brakes as normal by pressing the brae pedals, no need to touch the hydro when bleeding. Since the hydro is connected to the brake system it doesnt need to be bled separately

    we always pump the foot brake, pull & hold the hydro & always bleed the hydro at the nuts in which are screwed into the hydro also just to be sure.

    Two people.

    1; Open bleed nipple,
    2; Slowly push foot brake down and hold,
    2; Slowly pull hydro handle back and hold,
    1; Close bleed nipple,
    2; Slowly release hydro,
    2; Slowly release foot brake.

    Repeat for both sides.

    Job jobbed.
