I take it there is only brakes on the back wheels and they can be split at the foot pedal.

- Firstly, make sure you use the right oil. Like in my tractor, in may not be break fluid.
- With the new pipe on, half fill the reservoir (to minimise waste if it all leaks).
- Slightly open the pipe supplying the top master cylinders (nearest the foot pedal). Do this at the last connection possible. Now press the foot pedals up & down, until the cylinders fill with oil. Tighten back up the connection.
- Down at the end of the pipes near the wheels, you will find the slave cylinders. On these you will find the bleed nuts. These will look like grease nipples.
- Open these slightly and keep pressing the foot pedal up and down until the air has stopped coming out. You will need a second person for this. Keep doing untill the brakes feel solid again.

Keep the reservoir 1/2 topped up as you're doing all this. Fill it up when you're finished.
