UFO Chassis - Bleeding the Brakes

[Dave.K]

I have seen much information regarding the importance of changing the brake fluid on Workhorse chassis - much of the advice is related to the caliper issue.

Fortunately, the UFO chassis comes with a Meritor-WABCO HPD brake system - significantly different from the BOSCH brakes.

I would appreciate any information that any other UFO owners may have regarding changing the brake fluid on this chassis, i.e. can you use the 'speed bleeders' many others have mentioned; is there a different process to bleed these brakes (I've read that you need to use a power bleeder); has anyone else bled the brakes on their UFO - what advice do you have?

Thanks again for all the info/advice received on my last post regarding the changing of fuel filters and serpentine belts - I look forward from hearing from forum members on this question.

the speed bleeders are the way to go if you can get em fer your calipers. check with OMEY.

I believe that there are 2 bleeders per caliper. Doing this job DIY single person will be challenging.

When I checked last year, Oemy told me his speed bleeders wouldn't fit the UFO calipers.
