In preparation for the PH Cornwall meet, I'm doing a quick service on the Fiat.
I don't think the fluid has been changed for a long time as its gone a slightly brown colourfrown

Has anyone done this on that could offer some advice?
Which nipple do I touch first? rotate

Ignoring the rears (as I'll bleed them first- starting with the furthest from the MC) I'm guessing the outside first, then move onto the inner one?

Thanks in advance.

Ben

its not too hard a job, but expect to be pumping the peddal a bit hehe

Sorry- i'm after advice on which side of the caliper to bleed first- on the front brakes there are two bleed nipples- one either side.

The actual process of bleeding is no problem- i've jinxed it nowhehe
