what can i use to clean my filter ive heard alot of different things and dont really wanna buy the kit......also changed my brake pads yesterday on the rear i ended up having to replace the slide pin i got it all back on and together but the damn thing wont bleed and the piston isnt moving fluids goin down when i fill the reserve i get nothing when i try to bleed them out though ....any thoughts?????

 

You should buy the proper cleaning kit for the filter, the wrong cleaner could damage the cotton element making it possible for dirt particles to pass through. Plus the oil is the right oil and it is dyed so its easy to see where its been applied.
