I have two questions... One I have seen two different diagrams for bleeding your brakes which one is right either R/R to L/R to R/F to L/F. Or is it R/R to L/F to L/R to R/F????

Second question on the brembo cailpers when you bleed them do u open the two bleeders at the same time? Or do u open the inner bleeder first then the outer bleeder???

About to bleed my brakes tomorrow so try ing fiqure out the right way.

 

[edit - correct answer below. scroll down]

 

On the bleeders, I'm not sure which of the two to do first, but I'd never open both at the same time.

 

Ok I thought the first diagram was right. But ok anybody else know about the brembos if it's inner first then outer or the other way around?? The inner then outer makes sense but sense when do cars make sense.

 

Following the same principal outer would be farther away from the master.

 

Ok but with the cailpers design as I'm sure you know the brake line goes in the back.... Yeah I know obvious remark. But if you bleed the outer first then when you bleed the inner and any trapped air in the lines could be pushed back into the outer part of the cailper again. But maybe not it's just a thought I had. What is your option on that??

 

My answer is that I haven't had to bleed mine yet, so I couldn't give you a definitive answer that either of us should be confident with. Sorry.

 

It's all good just throwing stuff out there. Hopefully somebody will know. Maybe this can become a sticky if someone knows so people like me don't have to ask anymore

 

John Powell was just floating around here. Surprised he didn't pop in.

 

There your que John.. Lol

 

X split system with abs. so RR/LF/LR/RF. bleed inner first on brembo, outer last. thats my plan.
sox fan was right for cars BITD. not now. lol

 

Right on cue. thanks John.

You're right. I'm old school. Shows my age, huh?

 

Ok thanks John. Now with the abs system is there a special way to bleed or will the good old two people hit the brake method work just fine?

 

Getting ready to swap in Superblue this weekend. Timing couldn't have been better.

 

Would anybody agree with a sticky?

 

ya i like the two people way also; pump'er up/down/pump;er up/down/relax lol Abs bleed requires a Tech 2 should not be needed for 99% of the time.

 

What about for ss/sc's and 2.4L's? Same thing? LR,RF,RR,LF?

 

SHould be a a sticky or edited onto one of the FAQs.

Or someone could write a quick HOW-To for the HOW-to area.

 

Ok so most of the time meaning if you don't replace the abs unit? And if I had more time I would write up a how to with some pics to but trying to do it fast starting an 18 hour drive the same day I do it.

 

I can't open this from where i am at but I think the bleeding instrucitons are in here Link

 

Yes they are. Thanks for that!

 

This has been discussed myriad times.... RR, LF, LR, RF. Brembos are inner then outer bleeder.

 

Good thread as I am about to swap out my breaks and rotors.

 

Just looked it up, glad I did. Will be doing this soon.

 

Love seeing the word myriad used correctly.

Did this last night with a Mityvac 8000. Swapped in Superblue. Rears take for ever, fronts and TOB are quick. Pretty easy over all.
