Im looking to make sure the bleed valves on my rear beam are working correctly.

Its a disc beam and is not attatched to the car.

Anyone have any idea on how to do this, a step my step method would be grand!

much love x

Umm... only thing you can do it undo them. Theyll either undo and be fine or theyll chew the threads on the calliper. And theres only one way to find out which is which!
