OK, now I'm going to remove the calipers. Which bolts do I need to remove to get the calipers off? Thanks.

OK, now I see them! The ones on the back of the calipers with the "safety wire".

By the way, there are 2 reservoirs under hood. One has a couple of electrical wires in the top. Is this the brake fluid reservoir?
When bleeding brakes, is this the one to feed with brake fluid?

Sounds like it the other is (probably) for the clutch. One way to test is undo the cap and lift it out, does the brake warning light come on in the dash.
The brake master cylinder should have two pipes coming out the side of it....

Ian, I don't know if the Gunsons Eezibleed is available over there, but it certainly lives up to it's name. You might be able to find something similar, it certainly makes bleeding a hydraulic system (brakes or clutch) real simple. Gerry. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UoCV6JSxzH0

Believe it or not, I found, tucked away in my garage a Gunson, still boxed and brought from the UK many years ago, and a Mity Vac still boxed. Amazing!
Wish I could find my old Healey Sprite Mark II and my Herald 13/50 (sunroof model)!

Now I've finished fitting the Mulfab steering bearings and new kingpins etc, I've also fitted new braided stainless steel brake hoses. Now ready to bleed the system, and I see there is only one bleed screw at the rear. It is on the rear right hub. On the left rear hub, there are 2 hydraulic lines running into the hub, and no bleed screw. So, to bleed the system, do I only need to bleed the rear right brake, and the fronts?

Digimap had this set up on his car; he felt that there was no other option. Mine has a bleed screw on either side.
