Rear brake bleeding
« on: May 29, 2026, 03:25:37 PM »
2015 V7II.  Bleeding or rather trying to bleed the rear brake.
I always thought I was the sharpest tool in the shed.  until now.
I installed a new rear caliper.  And after pumping opening the bleeder valve somewhere between 100 and a 100 million times.  No success.
Does someone have a magic wand I can borrow?

Take it off. Move to right side above the top of rear shock with bleeder up.

Thanks Vagrant.  Got it done, still an arduous task.
