Brembo master cylinder repairs.
Know anyone that does them, or do I have to buy a new one?
I managed to snap the spigot pin in a crash.

Brembo/Grimeca (same company) importers and super helpful. A new rear m/c for my Aprilia from them was almost £100 cheaper than buying an Aprilia part.
Brilliant guys.
Oldguy comes up trumps yet again.
Cheers mate 
You done the deal already?
If not, I could be talking borrocks and it could all go t*ts up!
PDQ can rebuild it and service it. they supplied the repair kit for mine.
It can be repaired thankfully, although I was looking at tasty RCS unit 
Cheers mate.
No you weren’t and they were very helpful as said.
Cheers mate. 
Is there anyway I can remove the master cylinder and block off the hoses so that when I put the repaired MC back on, there will be no air in the hoses and the bleed process should be quick?
the bleed process will take about 30 seconds on refit, because its a brembo
I was just trying to prevent any air getting into the existing fluid which is fresh in (expensive 5.1) whilst the MC is off the bike.
I’d have to buy another bottle if I had to do a complete change, so just wanted to take off the MC and bolt the top of the hoses closed with a nut and bolt arrangement.
Will see what I can do.
Cheers.
Quick answer to changing the m/c without bleeding after is NO!
But honestly, bleeding a rear brake is a piece of p*ss as the m/c and the calliper are so close together.
Good chance to change the fluid too. Dot 4 fluid only has a 3 year life in a garaged bike. Make that 2 years for one spending most of it’s life in the open.
Its a front brake master cylinder and I will be bleeding it.
The question really should be, how do I block off the hoses, so that they are air tight, whilst the master cylinder is off being serviced?
Never use those things on braided lines. They really make a mess of them.
Before you take the m/cylinder off remove both calipers & pump the brake until the pistons meet in the middle. When you refit the cylinder push the pistons back into the caliper which will drive fluid up into the m/cylinder, I have done this several times & not had to do any bleeding afterwards.
Why is everyone so scared of bleeding brakes on a motorcycle? I just see it as a chance to clean out the lines and change the fluid. (Often over due!)
If it’s a simple brake system with no front/rear sharing or anti-lock system it’s a piece of pi$$.
