Stubborn Grease Cap 82SC
Ok I got the Grease cap off. Im a little miffed, SC's have a hard line to the caliper so is it impossible to take
the hub off without removing the caliper and bleeding the brakes. Any suggesttions. ??? Thanks In Advance. JW Last edited by jwernquist; 10-31-2007 at 07:23 PM.. |

Ok so a little more trying i got it off. Bearing is in bad shape. Now Im frustrated I can't get the caliper off without removing the Hard Fluid Line, didn't want to bleed the brakes. I hate doing that.
I am not familar with SC's so if you have any tips or another way about it please let me know. |

First of all I would never open the brake lines and not rebleed when complete. You are removing the caliper so you are going to have to bleed a bit. To save you a full system bleed you can remove the caliper from the hard line with this tip. Find a piece of wood to place between the seat front and the pedal about HALFWAY depressed. This will prevent all the brake fluid from leaking out. You will get some BF leaking out of the hardline but it should not continue to flow and empty the reservoir.

Look at it as a great opportunity to flush the brake fluid. Most of us don't do it enough, especially in humid climates.
