Ok so part of my pigs 80k service was to flush the brake fluid. Having servo brakes, it was a bit of a daunting task for me as I had never done it before and for this reason I kept putting it off. I'm also the kind of guy who likes to do things for himself because then I know how to do it and it's done right. After reading up on it and getting all the stuff I decided to tackle it..
All I can say it's not that difficult. Any guy who can bleed normal brakes can bleed the servo brakes. I did have one issue where I snapped off the bleed nipple on the back caliper but still managed to bleed it by undoing the big nut.

What shocked me is what came out... :eek:



People complain that servo brakes are without feel and grabby, but after the flush they feel much better.
Guys just do it.. You will thank me later...
