[Closed] Bleeding brakes with a new line?
Topic starter
Just had to put a new hydraulic line on a back SLX when the old one was too short for anew frame. However I am having real problems bleeding the brake with no pressure and no fluid in the line. Any bright ideas ?

Push it through with a syringe?

I think that is going to have to be the plan .

Yep that's it. Then bleed as normal.

Can't seem to get the fluid into the line via a syringe. Where is best place to try? Through the nipple? Direct into the calliper ? Had a google but can't find any direct stuff about back bleeding

The brakes are the old style SLX so no master cylinder syringe just one from the chemist
