Hi Everyone,
Yesterday when I needed to bleed the system, it blew a seal (o-ring) and spewed the fluid all over the place, including me. Luckily only on my shoes and bottom of my pants.
I replaced the o-ring and it didn't leak. I did the "bleeding" thing and it blew another ring. Now, I have replaced the ring again and it doesn't leak.
So, what I need to know: Is there a more suitable place to bleed it. I learned this way from one of my "know it all
I have always bled the hydraulic system (when needed) up near the front (see pic) by loosening the large bolt.workers":thumbsup: . Well, it did work, a few times, until now.
Thanks a bunch, Jim
