Deano and Jake et al. These two bolts are the easiest caliper removal..........and they need to be cleaned and lubed every time you get the chance. As you can see, I use copper grease. I have had these shit calipers seize twice on me in the past. They do not like dust or mud.

Why are we looking at the rear brake when it's the side car brake caliper we were discussing?

Thanks guys, yes pusher but all replys are appreciated. In regards to sidecar wheel brake flush, yes a pain. What I did was use the plunger from a 60cc vet syringe, it fits perfectly in the brake fluid holder and forced fluid through, two person job. Worked well no air.
This week is certainly a learning curve

My thanks also Andy. A note on not so much bleeding brakes [can help however] but changing brake fluid. I use an oil suction pump attached to the bleed nipple, speeds the process but watch reservoir fluid level as it drops quickly, an assistant helps. My suction pump is 6L capacity but smaller models are available, looking at Ural fill plug arrangements a suction pump may work in the crankcase but cannot see that with gearbox and final drive. A piece of arcane information re bleeding brakes if I may ? Any damage to caliper mounts can misalign that with the disc, pad pressure will flex the disc and releasing pressure causes the disc to push the pads / pistons back and you would swear there is air in the system. Easily diagnosed by removing caliper mounting bolts. Is it November yet ? Are we there yet ? ---------------- Are we there yet ? ---------------- etc. I shall now go to the shed and look at the empty Ural space and drink beer.

...“On another note looked at bleeding pusher brake. Wow what a pain. Interested to hear how people do this” I use a speed bleeder as discussed in this > POST <... Any damage to caliper mounts can misalign that with the disc, pad pressure will flex the disc and releasing pressure causes the disc to push the pads / pistons back and you would swear there is air in the system. This can happen to the front if the Tie Rod assembly is stuffed, must replace mine one day...
