I'm attempting my first ever bleed and I'm looking to recommendations of the most accurate/informative instructions out there. Videos, articles or documents - I don't mind.

Also, any pro tips from your own experience of your first brake bleed?

Thanks!

If they have calipers that require the Bleeding Edge tool see this video

Comes with instructions - follow to the T and you'll be done in 10mins. Easy.

Thank both - ordered the kit from Epic Bleed Solutions.

Fingers crossed, I won't mess it up!

That kit will work - possibly.  >2017- Guides use the Bleeding Edge tool, which Epic don't currently do.  If they are <-2017 then the normal kit should work.

As teethgrinder has said, there are 2 types of caliper. Best to check which one you have first

See the difference in the bleed ports here (just scroll down a bit)
