jackgraham Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Hey all, Went to bleed my brakes last week as I was getting some sponginess on the pedal. Came to rear drivers side and some dingus had snapped the bleed screw off inside the wheel cylinder. I've replaced the cylinder and bled the system, but my handbrake now has a really short travel (maybe 3-4 clicks) whereas before replacing the cylinder it had at least double that. Should I be concerned about this or is there anything I should be checking? Been out for a spin and brakes are really spot on since bleeding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mk2 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 If the handbrake works evenly both sides no problem. Oh, and check there's no binding on each side (check the back wheels spin freely when jacked up). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seems to be in order, im not complaining like cause I'm based in sheffield and its hilly as **** so will probably be slack again in 6 months!
