hi y,all!
just wondering if i have to bleed the brakes after changing the accumulator sphere on my xantia? i had a look in the "how to" section on forum and it didn,t mention it but i thought i read somewhere else on forum that you have too (might be mistaken tho!!).
regards.

In my experience, the only times you need to bleed brakes after a sphere change is the rear brakes after swapping either the rear corners or the anti-sink sphere.

Hi, from kings lyn to Cheltenham you should pass close to Pliedes he could probably fix you up.
