Sorry for thge noob question. I usually have the assistance of my father to help me but he won't be around for a while so I was hoping to have you guys help me out a bit.

Just picked up a set of speedbleeders ans some Motul and was wondering is it just as simple as removing the old bleeder screw and replacing it when it comes to the speedbleeder? Won't fluid come out? Should I flush fluid first and then replace the bleeder?

Any and all help is welcome? Thanks again. Sorry if this is a noob question just looking to get this done sometime this week.

Do I need anything special to do the bleed?

 

It does open the system, so you'll need to use the bleeders right after you install them. Take that opportunity to flush fluid, if its age is in any way in question (also a good time to upgrade to Cobalt Super XRF Brake Fluid - I hear it kicks ***...). So... bleeders... flush... bleed... that way you don't duplicate any work.

As far as special tools... the recovery bad that Speed Bleeders sells is pretty cool, but you can do it with some vinyl hose and any bottle. Also note that most people don't actually torque the bleeders with a torque wrench (it'd be 0.25" drive, eh?) so there's a bit of "German torque" (i.e. "Guudentite") that you need to zen.

 

Okay cool, so when I bleed the fluid, just make sure the reservoir doesn't go empty correct? If I add fluid to it, however, will the new fluid stay at the top? How do I ensure that the new fluid is going through?

 

if you are 'flushing' then it would be a good idea to get as much of the old fluid out of the reservoir as possible with something like a turkey baster before addding in the new fluid. don't suck it dry/empty though as you don't want air bubbles getting in your lines. you can then top the reservoir off with the new fluid and bleed as necessary.
