21st December 2018 - CBRTIM update

Published on 28 August 2022 at 03:43

I am sat in my comfy chair and just looking at the front end and next thing I know I have started to strip the front brake caliper from temp mount

Yep the caliper has pads !
In good enough order for what I want for now.

So back on goes the caliper

Damm !
Only 1 hole lines up, in the right position !
With the caliper mounted on the disc as it should be.
So for now out comes the cable ties !!

I hunt around in one of my boxes of Honda Big one spare parts and find a front brake reservoir, and an old broken broom handle

I find a bango bolt and 2 good washers and join them to the braided hose on CBRTIM

Took a while but finally managed to get the old broom handle in place

and adjust the master cylinder so it sits level

and cable tie the brake lever to the old broom handle

and fill up the reservoir,
Luckily for me there was a small amount of fluid still in the reservoir, so fingers crossed the seals will be good enough for now

I find the brake bleed kit
Lets see what happens

and set it up and altho loads of pumping nothing happens..
will now leave for 24 hours, hoping that the fluid will be sucked thru as it pushes out the air (well that's the plan)
