Thanks Dave - really helpful. Couple of questions:
1. Is the fact that we didn't allow the fluid to escape through the bleed nipple enough to say we need to replace the fluid asap? My guess is the fluid is old, so that's got to be a factor - tho we do have a testing thingy, I think it was Alan who suggested we get one. So we can double check.
2. Is it normal to remove the wheel to access the bleed nipple while doing this, or can you do it from underneath reasonably? I've looked at the bleed sequence - that's a lot of on-and-off of wheels, esp as to raise the rear ones to put it on an axle stand I have to first lift each corner with the scissors jack to allow access for our trolley jack plus block under the trailing arm! (The trailing arm is too low otherwise.) Or is it enough to work on each with just the trolley jack straight on the jacking point, since we're not going to be getting underneath at all?
