mmgemini Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 That depends on the way you bleed. I use an Eezi-Bleed.it doesn't really matter which way you do it with that. Manual bleeding. Start with the calliper that has the longest run,from the cylinder in the master cylinder nearest the brake pedal. Them move to the other cylinder again starting with the calliper with the longest run. Be aware that with manual bleeding you can tear the master cylinder rubbers when you move the master cylinder piston past the usual place as there can be wear in the master cyllinder.

Mark90 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Change the girlfiend then. My missus is great, I lay on my back shouting 'up' and 'down' and she does the business. She also helps bleeding the brakes too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneten110 Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 Factory manual says start with the master cylinder ensuring that there is no air in that before you start. Then bleed the calipers, starting with the caliper Nearest to the master cylinder and work round them finishing with the one furthest away.
