    FE570 Won't Bleed Rear Brake

    How to use the recirculating bleed pump for PDS shock?

    What are the procedures to bleed air from a PDS rear shock using the 'hydraulic pump motor'? 1. Where to connect the pump discharge hose, on the rebound hole or the high/low speed hole (I have the adapters)? 2. Others air bleeding procedures that must follow... Thanks. :o
