I'm planning on doing some rear brake work on the urq, but I can't find ANY bleeders on the rear calipers.
The calipers are NOT the 4kq style.
The calipers have a 'banjo bolt' adapter on the caliper end of the flex line, that connects the line to the caliper.
The car has two separate parking brake cables, and the last 6" or so at the caliper end of the cables is rigid pipe, with kind of a 's' curve in them, to move the cables lower down. THat's kind of weird in itself..
Is it possible that you are supposed to bleed them at the fitting onto the caliper, or am I missing something? (Like two broken off and well hidden bleed screws? :-)
Any thoughts? I'm puzzled..!
