Re: Brake Bleeding
 

I was having a lot of issues using RF RR (clockwise) and thought I looked up in the FSM that it should start with the RR (and then go clockwise). We ran a couple QUARTS of fluid through and still soft pedal, when I found the RR ... order we got a giant burp.

Best,

Get some "speed bleeders", bleed screws with a check valve built in. Ecklers, Mid-Am etc. sell them. They work great, you can do the whole job by yourself and keep wifey out of it (and out of divorce court).
It goes like this...
You, from under the car: "pump the brake peddle and hold it"
Wifey: "huh"
You: "pump the brake peddle and hold it"
Wifey: no response
You "are you holding it?"
Wifey: "yes, I'm holding it" (with "that" tone of voice...)
You, after cracking open the bleed screw and nothing comes out: "I thought you said you were holding it?"
Wifey: "huh, which ones the brake peddle?"
and so on....
