Bleeding rear Brembo, '82 RS
I'm having difficulty in bleeding the back brakes on my 1982 R100RS having renewed the tube and hose. I've tried it as per the BMW workshop manual, the Haynes manual and the Rider's Handbook by means of a tube from the bleed nipple with the other end in a jar of fresh Dot4 . I've tried forcing the fluid back from the bleed nipple on the caliper with a syringe and also tried to suck it through to the nipple using the syringe. I've even tried to blow it through by putting my mouth over the reservoir and blowing. Nothing seems to work. I did this job four(?) years ago and I remember having a heck of a job, but how I managed it is a mystery.
Is it me, or is this really an awkward job? Any suggestions, please?
