I’ve got the new piece fitted.
It’s been a while since I’ve bled brakes. I have a one-man bleeding kit but I forget… can you bleed with the wheels still on or do I have to take them off?

@TexasRover the mechanic is certainly trustworthy. I’d have to check the invoice for the work done as I can’t exactly recall which lines were billed.
