    I've used the same vacum pump to change .my brake fluid you need to wrap
    Some plumbers tape round the bleed nipples and then they don't suck air into the the pipe has you are pumping. I had no problem at all use that system

    Give your self a pat on the back for having a go at this job mate. I took the easy option and got a brake specialist to do mine. How nice is it to have ur car actually roll on a hill and not feel like the handbrake is on all the time. Lol congratulations on having a baby boy.

    Well done for seeing it through. I just use my mate's garage for stuff like that... Congratulations to you both on the baby news. The type r is a great baby car my boys love it and plenty of room in the Honda for them 👍🏻. Keep up the good work.

    The type R callipers are known for seizing up. Pain in the arse, along with drop links snapped springs and leaking shockers! Apart from that there great! Lol

    This is why just buying new ones is easier.... well that's what I tell myself...so many times I've said never again yet I'm still doing re builds 😂 Once you know a good technique the next time be a lot easier. Great job well done. I bought recently a sealey vs820 bleeder - great piece of kit, highly recommend....it even tops the fluid up as u go, and great for bleeding clutch too, you can buy a handy adapter that's fits on the Fn2 brake and clutch resevoir

    We have just been through this process, failed to get the pistons in so found some new calipers for £95! Got to bleed it next, did you have any concerns with bleeding? Our MK1 Audi TT we had to bleed the ABS pump
