    Darkman. ..do I just pour the fluid into the new pot, swap and no bleeding required?

    I think black pot will stand out nice with the red subframe?

    As the pot is above the cylinder you just place a cloth under it and clamp the hose above the cylinder, remove pot and hose in one go. There will be fluid sitting in the top of the fitting that the hose came off stopping air from entering the system, now refit the new pot and pipe and refill with brake fluid very slowly ;) Oh and refit new lid.

    After changing the reservoir half fill it with fresh brake fluid ( new stuff from a sealed container) then push on the brake caliper so that the piston is pushed back into the caliper hence "back bleeding" so any air trapped in the hose is pushed back up into the reservoir. Press the brake pedal until it is firm then top up the reservoir to the correct level.
