Ive snuck into the gen 2 section!
i\'m doing a T11 brake conversion on my gen 1 and sure i have asked this before!
there are 2 bleed nipples on the rear calipers is one for the handbrake?
obviously this will be fitted as new so the whole system is going to need bleeding, seem to remember something about using both if this is the case?

thanks

IIRC if you rebuilt the caliper you have to do both , if you are just running fresh fluid then its only one of them ( just not sure which one )

What Stu said.
 
The bottom one is for if you\'ve disconnected the brake hose from the caliper and then need to bleed it.
 
The handbrake is a purely mechanical linkage.
