Hi. I need to bleed the brakes on my Teleporter and wondered if someone could give me a steer on where to access the bleed nipple before I start removing stuff that perhaps I don’t need too!

sorry I cant help regarding actually bleeding brakes... but why are you doing it ?? have you fitted new seals? the reason I ask is brakes should not just need bleeding
also I don't know about your Sanderson but the Matbro Teleram 3 that we used to have , in the brake system mineral based fluid had to be used

I haven’t done any work on the brakes and just assumed there is air in the system. Long peddle travel and no brakes until near the bottom. Reservoirs are full so no signs of a leak.

The bleed nipples are inside the wheel hubs at the top.

Accesed via the drain plug.

Dot 4 brake fluid.

Many thanks. Probably a stupid question. But I’m assuming I’ll need to drain the oil from each hub and refill after bleeding?

No but if you do the hubs and axle oil is Limited Slip 90.
