Noob question here ... Really!

Hiya,

Was going to help a mate to bleed his brakes, then I realized that the hex head has a new brake fluid container that does not seem to be screw type?

Eh ... How do I get it opened?

Cheers

If you mean the reservoir cap, it has two small clips on opposite sides. Depress them at the same time then unscrew the cap, a bit like the childproof anti-tamper caps on medicine bottles.

If you can't even get the cap off, I dread to think what may happen once you start to bleed it, I hope it doesn't have ServoABS.

Some thin cable (single strand telephone wire works a treat) - wrap it around the clips and unscrew - easy peazy.
