jimboy2 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Make sure they know exactly how to bleed the brakes. There is a order which it has to be done in. I had a nightmare getting a local garage to get it right. In the end H-Dev sorted them out for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the end H-Dev sorted them out for me. mmm this is stuff that concerns me tbh .i may have to get a quote from someone that knows zeds better.the lads at my local are very good but i would be more assured if someone more familiar with 350s did the work Edited September 9, 2016 by wilo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimboy2 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 If you can get to a specialist it really is worth the travel. I wasn't convinced someone could mess up a fluid change but I was proven wrong. Lesson learnt on my part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeezeebaba Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 Bleed nipples on the Brembo calipers can snap off if forced to hard as over time they weld themselves to the alloy. I would go to a Z specialist tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
