title pretty much explains it i went to put my new rearsets on last night and i had to crack the banjo bolt to spin it, then i re tightened it.... question is do i need to bleed my brakes now?

thx guys,
Z

 

cant answer your question, but i can say fluid isnt that expensive. i would just bleed them all anyway :/ of course unless you already did it this season

 

You cracked it as in broke it, or loosened it? If you loosened it and the brakes weren't touched while it was open then no bleeding required. If you broke it, replace and like before if the brakes weren't dicked with you should be good. Give them a few test pumps with the bike running: soft and squishy bleed, stiff and hard (no homo) your good.

 

I'm assuming cracked it meant just got it loose, right? if that's the case then I think you should be fine because the seal shouldn't have been broken. Did any fluid leak?

 

thanks for the help guys...

i have to actualy take the banjo bolt out and turn it to a different angle then put it back in...

but i made sure to not hit the brakes during the process...

they seemed pretty good and solid last night so im probably good

 

Yes you need to bleed the brakes. There is now air in your lines.

 

does'nt take long to bleed em, y not then u know ur good!!!

 

Bleed them!! Its not worth even the slightest chance that there is air in there. Dont gamble with your life over something simple like bleeding your brakes.

 

its my rear brake so im hardly gambling with my life there....

 

Your rear brake is good for about 30% of your bike's braking ability.

if the brake is solid/firm still when you press it with your foot, I wouldn't worry too much about it. When was the last time you changed the fluid out??
