Replacing brake lines.. just pull them and i can bleed the air?

[aaronng]

Why are you letting the brake system go dry?

[Dxs]

well y cant i?
isnt the system basically gravity fed? untill the piston seals to make pressure


so in theory cant it be dry because i will give it new fluid?
like if u brake master cylinder dies, u get a new empty one..

etc

It's highly recommended that you don't let the reservoir go dry. Just try and be very quick with your hose changes so you don't empty the whole system on the floor and top up the reservoir after every hose change.

The rubber seals in the braking system don't like being dry at all, and you won't have to bleed your system as much if you don't let it go dry.

as above

its harder to bleed the air out of the BMC. just be quick when changing the hoses.

ok cheers
why does letting the bmc make it harder though?

i will use aarons glad wrap method then

BMC bleeding is a **** of a job....

just change over the lines quickly whiule the fluid is leaking, might get messy but it'll work. Im guess changing to braided lines?
