  1. Start from the furthest point from the master cylinder, back right in the US, back left in Australia or Japan.  Have someone pump the break pedal until there is pressure and then hold the pedal.  Open the bleeder valve until the pedal goes to the floor.  Continue until clear fluid runs from the bleeder.  Then proceed to each next closer valve.  Make sure the brake master fluid remains full of fluid or you will have to start from the beginning.


  2. ron  right

    here a trick not to get air back in

    use  small hose about 10 inch long and small glass bottle

    fill it 1/4 of brake fluid put hose on bleeder s***w other end in bottle

    make sure it in brake fluid

    when pumping u will see air bubble went no more bubble change wheel and yes start at wheel like ron say's

  3. replace all four of your old oem bleeder valves with new brake speed bleeder valves. Check any store  or online. They cost about $10-$20 each and you need four. What you do is take out the old bleeder valves and insert the new valves into it's place. Now all you have to do is following the sequence of bleeding the brakes accordin to your car repair manual. You loosen the valve a quarter as you would with a regular valve but instead of needing an assistant to pump the brakes while you open and close the valve with a wrench as you normally would do with a regular valve all you do is open the valve and get back into the car and pump the brake 5 or more times that should get all the air out of the line and your done with that side then get out of the car and close the valve with your wrench or socket then do the same thing for the remaining three wheels and your done. Just make sure the master cylinder doesn't get empty so that air enters the system.  The master brake cylinder cover must be off to do this I am sure you already know that.

  4. start at the wheel that.s farther away from the master cylinder first, like this. right rear, left rear,right front, then left front.
