Bleeding brake calipers with no bleed screws?

[Bubba Zanetti]

WTF?

Stuck these on the Busa and while I got them plumbed in and waiting on the pads I noticed that there's no bleed screws nor is there a place for them on either caliper.

They are standard issue on lots of Aprila, MV's and Ducati's so do they have a bleed screw at the master cylinder?

I know that you can add banjo bolts that have a bleed screw but if Brembo didn't add one in the first place there must be a reason

What do you guys reckon

I have no idea, but a useless comment is always my style, I'm sure somebody 'round here will know what the deal is.

Use the Banjo Bolt the same way you would use a Bleed screw!
You will need help to do it!

Like John said a crack in the system will do.

Cheers lads, seems strange that they make calipers with no bleeding mechanism, must be some reason behind it. Hadn't noticed it before on any other Brembo setups.

Well my Brembo HP calipers have them, they must just want to charge for the ease of operation!
