      Hi. Glad you changed the lot. Well passed it them. To bleed it out take the weight off of the compensator for better fluid flow

      Good luck

          Discs, pads, calipers, hangers, back plates, bolts, slide pins, full back half of brake pipes , rear cables

          I've got fluid and pressure at pedal but when I run the engine pressure seems to drop ???

              When you say drop does the pedal not feel as hard with the motor running? If the brake still locks then that's just your servo working. Pump up the pedal and keep the pressure on start the engine and the pedal should drop a bit if the servo is doing what it should. Then get someone to apply the brake as you spin the wheel, if it locks jobs a good un.

                Hopefully a wee bit easier

                        Hi. Wedge a piece of wood on the pedal overnight . Should push any air to the rear .Then should be easy to bleed

                        Good luck
