[cyclone]

Hello I have just changed the drivers front side brake caliper and what is the best way of bleeding the brakes as the brake pedal has no tension at all now

Thank you for any advice

Two man job . one man pumps the other is at the bleed niple nut.
Pump pedal hold down pedal.man at bleed nipple undo to let out pressure then tightens up again then pedal man pumps pedal and holds down again whilst bleed nipple man undoes nut only to tighten back up again again again oh and makes sure brakefluid is always topped up

the bleed nipple isnt air tight on loosening it.

It's a taper thread iirc, a quarter turn isn't going to see any loss of sealing. Thread will act like a labrynth seal, with the presure in the system stopping air getting past
