Hi all

 

1985 998 ritz 

 

I've been trying to bleed my brakes multiple times now to no avail after changing my master cylinder to a yellow tag type. the problem comes at the rear, one wheel cylinder has the bleed nipple horizontal to the backplate which is easy to bleed and get a spanner on whereas the one on the other side points down slightly meaning i cant get a spanner on it very easily. After looking online, all the cylinders i can see have the nipple pointing down. does anyone have any tips on bleeding the tricky downward facing one or do i need to change the horizontal one to down facing as well?

 

Many thanks

George

I thought they were all horizontal or slightly up .. pointing down sounds wrong .. you'll never get all the air out.
