Bleeding Brakes

Do you need to do anything differant when bleeding the brakes on a system with a brake pressure failure switch? How do you keep the switch from triping when you open the bleeder and the pressure drops on the front or rear circuit? Or am I over thinking this and you bleed it the normal way?

you're over thinking - bleed the normal way :thumbsup:

the only thing we did differently was, because it was a fresh rebuild with fluid going all the way through, was bleed to the diverter first and then the lines.

However, for normal bleeding, normal way - good luck!

if you are worried about it. remove the electrical switch from the PDWA. this way you will not bend the end of the switch should it get hung up on the shuttle. There should be no brake fluid leakage from the PDWA, even with the switch removed. Jp is right if there is already fluid in there you should have nothing to worry about.
