Reference bleeding the brakes;
Now I am starting to feel a bit confused, CitroJim and others say you need weight on the rear susp. Posts above indicate wheels hanging free, Not too sure which way to go.

No problems, at first it might look a bit confusing but it's a step by step job, easy to do on your own.

For bleeding the brakes I do as advised above:
- Engine running
- Suspension HIGH
- Brake pedal "braking" (Engine running)
- One wheel at a time (in the order as in guide)
- Top up LHM after each wheel
- When all four wheels are done, suspension NORMAL (Engine running)
- Ready, Engine off.


Sphere removal (REAR Spheres):
- Suspension HIGH
- Additional weight on rear part
- Crack (not more) spheres
- Suspension LOW
- Remove sphere

Bleeding Brakes...
On cars with alloy wheels it is sometimes possible (depending on the wheels) to get at the nipples without removing the wheels but on most, the wheels have to come off and that makes a problem of how to keep a load on the back wheels. Best is to do one wheel at a time and keep the other on the ground and thus loaded ....
