Badwolf Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Mjit.. funny you should mention that, drive shafts on list to do when it starts raining properly. Prefer to loose the silicone brake fluid than have to clean up and repaint the bodywork... again. At least all the brake rubbers, seals, cylinders and pistons were replaced before I filled up with silicone and capping the master cylinder should cut down the loss.

68vitesse Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 Recently replaced the uj on the offside drive shaft from my Mk1 Vitesse. As I hate bleeding brakes and use silicone fluid removed outer drive hub and brake back plate complete with shoes etc but not disconnecting the brake line then removed drive shaft with trunnion housing. Very quick and easy with the right equipment including spring lifter and rear drive hub puller. Have used ezibleed in the past, one thing I learned was not to remove connection to wheel first, pressure in systems blows fluid out off the air line. Fortunately silicone brake fluid.

Darren Groves Posted July 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2018 Just a little update on this topic, in the absence of a helper I gave up on the Eezibleed and bought a Vizibleed instead, this worked a treat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
