How do hgv brakes work?
My understanding is this: HGV brakes operate on compressed air as I am sure you know, however the brakes are spring loaded which means rather than applying the brakes, the air pressure is what keeps them OFF, so when the system runs out of air the brakes will lock on solid. when you are driving and you push the brake pedal what is happening is that the pedal valve is shutting off the supply of air to the brake chambers and the friction material (either shoes or pads) is drawn by spring pressure towards the disc or drum.
How do you bleed front brakes on gl1500 gold wing 1988?
To bleed the front brakes on a 1988 GL1500 Gold Wing, first ensure the motorcycle is on a level surface and the front wheel is off the ground. Locate the brake master cylinder and remove the cover to check the fluid level—top it off if necessary. Using a wrench, loosen the bleed screw on the caliper, then have an assistant squeeze the brake lever while you open the bleed screw, allowing old fluid and air to escape. Close the bleed screw before the lever is fully released, and repeat the process until no air bubbles are present in the fluid, ensuring the master cylinder is kept topped off throughout.

Why does my brake pedal bleed done it won't hold pressure?
Probably either from air in the lines or the master cylinder leaking and in need of repair before the brakes go out entirely. To tell the difference, if you pump up the brakes and hold pressure on the peddle and it stays up and then you let off of the peddle and it goes down, it is probably air, bleed the brakes. If after pumping up the brakes and holding pressure it slowly leaks down, you are either losing fluid somewhere or the master cylinder internal seals are bad, fix them before the brakes are gone when you need them.
