This was the first time I bled hydraulic bike brakes. Watched the Hays braking video and watched it a few times before reading the instructions that came with it. Tip: There are many different types of Hays brakes, so there may be slight differences in how they are used. The guides and videos are similar, but there are differences that would be difficult to describe here. I rewrote the instructions with the ones provided and what I saw in the video to make it easier to follow during the procedure. I had 26 steps. I bled the brakes once with the kit but no luck as the brakes are still loose. A few tips for my model of Hays brakes: They have a spring for the pads. Before inserting the bleeder block, the spring must be removed with a screwdriver or pliers. When reinstalling the pads into the caliper, slide the spring over the pads and reinstall the spring and two pads by pushing them all the way back to line up with the bolt hole. It can go two ways, and only one of them fits the bolt. Also, you will need to remove the bolt to loosen it from the frame so it can be bled more easily. The bleed blocks that came with them didn't fit my caliper, so I used a 12mm wrench to keep the calipers from leaking while bleeding. I will try again and maybe I can do it in less than 2 hours and succeed.
