Bled the left wheel then the right wheel (at the balancer innit). Didn't see any air come out. :ohmy: Tried swapping drums and there seemed to be no difference. Checked the operating arm was as far back as it would go. The heat was getting to me so I reset the clearance on the drums, stuffed the wheels on and called it a day.

No.

Mine has a bleed nipple on the N/S/ Cylinder and one that services the O/S Cylinder located at the load compensating valve which was pointed out by the tester as just about not working until I bled it.

The one on the load compensating valve is just to blead the valve both rear brakes are blead out from the nearside as the pipe goes in and out the offside then to the near side
