Question:

I just purchased these and did not look to see how you bleed these breaks. Does it come with the fitting or do I need to buy one? Hard to tell from the photos and description. Thanks.

On the backside of the mounting plate of the Hydraulic Brake Kit part # AKFBBRK-35-D is a fitting covered by a red cover that you'd use to bleed them. Like with most brake bleeding methods you'll need someone to pressurize the brake lines while you open the valve to bleed off the pressure built, then you'd close the valve, the brakes would then be released and then repeat till the air lines are gone.
