Brake Bleeding: How To

[Sijray21]

I then give it a few pumps from inside the car - slow, even pressured strokes with the stopper pedal is the ticket. I will usually drain most of the master cylinder reservoir through the LF caliper before adding fresh fluid. You can use a turkey baster to get the old fluid out as well. Just remember to put the cap back on before you open the bleeder.

When you get new fluid out of the bleeder, close it up.

The order on ITR's is LF, RF, RR, LR. Repeat for each caliper, fill reservoir as needed (If it runs dry... well have fun with that). Verify the bleed order on your car, they are often different.

bringing this back up, just trying to completely understand this when i do it sometime later

you said to drain the master cylinder, but you said not to let it run dry? i don't understand this part.

I thought that when you are bleeding the old fluid you add the new fluid to the resevoir so no air get's in the tubes and just keep pumping/holding till the new fluid runs through the bleeding tube?

If you drain the old fluid then add the new fluid won't that allow air in the lines?

do you just drain then fill it with new fluid before it completely runs out?
then repeat the process for each corner?

pump/hold
crack
drain
(fill up mc as needed)
close
release pedal
repeat till new fluid runs out
