Galfer brake lines installation related question

Hello,

There is an additional bleeder located on the T block  at the lower triple tee. Do I have to also bleed the system  at that point or the two lower bleeder should be sufficient ?

TIA

Bleeding to the Calipers is the preferred method.  There is not a bleeder on the t-block under the triple trees.

there is a third bleeder in the kit I got from them as could be seen ther:

Ummm...interesting.  I am not sure what the purpose of that one would be.  Approximately 1/2 of the brake fluid in the system is in the calipers.  The other half is in the reservoir.  Bleeding the line in the middle of the system does not make sense to me.  Maybe someone will chime in with a reason I am not familiar with (I really hope so...).

Just to follow on:

Okay I didn't use this third bleeder but was not very happy with the final feeling at the lever (like if some air bubbles left in). I tried what is suggested on Galfer site: strapping for a couple of hours the brake lever (the idea : detect leaks) and everything is now perfect and not leaking.

Thx all

The trick I use to get trapped air out is after bleeding the brakes is to push the piston on the caliper, pump the brakes up, push the caliper in...pump the brakes...I normally only have to do that twice and the brakes feel rock solid after 1/2" or so of travel.

Hate to contradict but the t does have a bleeder and its good to bleed through there too.  have them and had a problem with it. Could probably post a pic if you wanted to see.

Understand Robert...but I was referring to the stock setup.

Both of the Galfer blocks are the same. The bleeder in the 2nd block is to plug the 3rd hole in the block. I bled mine there just to burp the small bubble out.
