Place a bunch of rags under the switches and work quick. Fill the tswitches with fluid before installing. Some of them have enough volume that if there is air in them, they will cause spongy brakes. Dennis

Do I need to drain the system at a wheel and then bleed the system. Or if the switch is unscrewed while the system is not under pressure can it bee done with little spillage. If this works must I then bleed the system? Thanks. Jeff 83.5 Westy LA,CA |
