I'm working on a friends 85 Electra Glide. The front Brakes were seizing up. I took the calipers apart and cleaned them with brake cleaner after taking the O-rings and rubber covers off. I need to take the MC apart but I would like to see an expanded photo of all the parts. I'd also like to see a photo of the calipers too. The previous owned had one piston in the caliper in backwards So I'm not sure what way these pistons need to be inserted into the caliper so I'd like to see a photo.

Once I get these all cleaned and put back together how do I bleed dual discs? I've bled several single discs but I've never tried to bleed duals.
Thanks for the help!!

Bleeding, particularly initial bleeding, will be best done at the banjo fitting on the master cylinder. Just squeeze, crack, close release. Repeat and you will gradually work out most of the air and start getting fluid down into the calipers. Once you've got some semi-solid lever, you can switch to bleeding the calipers individually.

As for caliper piston installation, 99.999% go in this way:

 

Hi Joe, check the reservoir covers, as I suspect your pal's bike should use DOT5 brake fluid. Don't mix types, as they don't get on with each other! For future reference we have an Evo section, where you can meet the dynosaurs (including me!) who own and run them.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I'm assuming I'll have to pick up one rebuild kit since the piston was in the wrong way.

 

alright, so I dove flushed the lines with denatured alcohol and and front MC seemed to put everything through pretty well. I then took the MC off and half assed cleaned without taking the piston out of the MC. When I tried to bleed the MC it moved no fluid at all. I took the banjo fitting completely off and pumped the lever. No fluid moving at all. I took it back off the bike and removed the seal,plunger and cleaned it up pretty good. It was really dirty!! There is a blue diafram(?) inside the reservoir that the plunger pushes against. Can I remove that? I cleaned it out with wd40 and it seems fairly clean. After I did all that I put the MC in a vise and added some brake fluid with no banjo fittings. The MC is now pumping fluid. Do I need to do anything else or should I button everything back up and start to bleed the brakes?
