    Just replaced the hose, pads pins & springs etc.

    Bleeding it through the outer side bleeds through ok, but the inner side,
    which is an utter **** to do on your own just wont bleed through..

    Am I missing something?

    Apart from one of those fancy bleedatron 2000 things.

    Or the pikey version - a bit of rubber tube & a syringe to suck the fluid
    through!

    Worked for me on the HairyAbuser (another teeny rear caliper with two bleed
    nipples).

    Yes, but on the plus side there'll be plenty of pre-loved ones
    knocking about FOC in your local park.

    Well, all done now, many swear words, grazed knuckles & a nice slice from
    the fucking mityvac packaging, but it's done :)
