Guest Omega Man Posted August 13, 2013 Share Yes of course you can. But if you actually want your brakes to work then no. Wyatt Earp, Pants Boy, TopFuel and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Yes of course you can. But if you actually want your brakes to work then no.I was thinking the same thing, was wishful that I could do it D.I.Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigghead Posted August 13, 2013 Share Nope, if they rely on pressure, you're gonna need to replace them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Nope, if they rely on pressure, you're gonna need to replace them.Will probably boil down to that. Will take it to Linden cycles tomorrow and see what we can sort out. I thought "Ah I'll just bleed my brake" and then I found that hole. Cant figure out how it happened but my rear brake was slowly losing pressure, guess I found the problem.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
