having a really bad day got up early this morning to bleed the front ,rear brakes and the hydraulic clutch. all parts being new i should have no problems right well apart from it was me making up the brake line and it was my first time doing it filled up the brake res on all 3 no leaks started pumping the brakes and we have a leak from the rear calipers had a look round and it leaking from the banjos the copper washers are to thin so i doubled up on the washers and the drivers side stops but pas side still leaks undo the banjo bolt and it snaps so i nut and bolt the banjo so i can do the fronts move onto the fronts and no problems job done happy days cant finish the rears as no where is open so move onto the clutch so we start and lot of air keep pumping and more air and more and more then drip drip drip out of the bell housing so now i start getting the hump find a mirror and get to have a look inside and its leaking from the braided clutch hose looks like it needs a slight turn on the nut do you think i can get in there not a chance so all in al not a good day off still better then it happening once its on the road. now i have to sort out how to get into the bell housing though the clutch folk hole and get a turn on a 13m nut and what to do about the calipers should i change the banjos to something else do they do a m10 x 1.00 swivel end for braided hose? or just try and get thicker washers??????
