Brake bleeding ( bleeding Brakes !)

 Big day today as set to to bleaad the cluth and brakes .

Bought myself a vacuum bleed kit as thought it was the best way to go 

There is a choice of brake fluids on the market DOT 4 DOT 5 and DOT5.1 

Dot 4 is what is said on the lid but looking into it DOT 5 has a higher boiling point so figured that might be better  however Dot 5 can not be mixed with anything but Dot 5.1 will mix with Dot4 

Dot 5.1 it is then .

Started out fine with the ki and got the fluid all the way though to the bleed nipple but couldn't get all the air out , moved on to the brakes and encountered the same problems

Vacuum kit 

No matter what i did i always seemed to have air bubbles coming though  after an hour and god knows how much brake fluid  resorted to the old and trusted method of bleeding with the glass jar and pipe 

This worked a treat so for some reason the vacuum system was sucking air in and the joints ,

now all blead and working fine good day in the garage .

Also adjusted the handbrake as didn't bite until 4 clicks up .

Surprised how easy the clutch pedal was to press expected it to be a lot harder .
