When I need to pump brake peddle after brake work I use a short piece of 1.5" PVC with a slit cut into it. Keeps my helper from accidentally pushing the peddle to the floor. BTW, cut the slit thinner than the brake pedal or it can slip off. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Nice ! How long should the PVC be ?
I have bleed next week, soon as I get my rebuilt rears back. And, remind me the reason to not push the pedal to the floor … |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I read your post after the rear calipers were removed. My slotted piece of PVC is 2 1/2 “ high After removing the rear calipers, I positioned a board between the seat and the pedal. |
