Hi All,
I've sent an email to grove asking this question but havent heard yet so
I thought I would ask here.

I've got a 601XL QB kit and the way the brake mechanisms are installed I
would like to swap the Bleed fitting with the 90 degree one so the brake
line will route better.

Anyone see any problem with swapping those fittings ?

Thanks,

I see no reason why the shape of the fitting would be a problem John. If a right angle fitting works better for you, it should be okay. I made choices for similar reasons at the master cylinders and the parking brake valve myself.

Hi John,

The instructions that came with my Grove brakes says you can swap the
fittings. Of course you will want the bleed fitting on the bottom
and the pressure fitting on the top. Any other configuration and you
will have problems bleeding air from the system.

I think you can get the Grove instructions online at their web
site. What you can't get (at least I couldn't) is any response to an
email inquiry.

Paul,
Did you mean to put the pressure fitting on the bottom and the bleed fitting on top? Air here in the Northern Hemisphere tends to bubble to the top of brake fluid. How does it behave where you are?

Mike.

Hi Mike,

I admit it may not be intuitive, but the bleed fitting goes at the
lowest point.

The best way to fill the brake system is to pump the fluid in from
the bottom to the top. While the fluid fills the various tubes and
compartments the air is forced upward to the reservoir.

Who woulda guessed ?
