Post by: manny on 03 October 2008, 20:54:02

Doing a full fluid change on sunday but to save time is it possible to get at bleed nipple without taking wheel off?

  I did mine with the wheels on but make sure you use a cranked spanner as i found that a normal one is hard to turn because of the proximity of the tyre :).

  Having said that it's certainly a lot easier with the wheels off :y.

Can be done without taking wheels off. But easier with the wheels off.
