Bleeding the brakes











The pics show the routing of the brake pipe. If you are having brakes for left and right seat pilots then you require 2 master cylinders with reservoirs and two without reservoirs. The ones with reservoirs are the most "upstream". The Grove parts come with a sketch showing how to plumb all of this. I am installing the cylinders with the reservoirs on the pilots side (left). These then route to the co pilot cylinders and from there to the wheels. Bleeding is easiest with an oil can connected to the bleeding nipple via a short length of flexible tube. Pump fluid in until the pilot's reservoirs are full. You need a helper to tell you when to stop!
