Whats the Best way to Bleed my Brakes

Question

Ok.. heres the situation its 2am lol.. and i changed my breaks becuase front 2 breaks becuase they were starting to SQEEK. my brake pads were really low.. while i was bleeding the breaks so i coult fit that pressure part(forgot the name) over the new break pads on the cylender i open the Bleeding s***w all the way so i think alot of air got inside... right now i drove to the corner and when i press the breaks to stop the car the breaks go right to the floor.. a little pressure at first then nothing... goes right to the floor... i believe i got alot of air inside the break lines ecuase i had my girl pump the breaks while i was changing the pads... waht is the Fastest easiest way to get the air out... should i just open it alittle and let gravity do its thing over night and put new fluid in the morning? i just need the easiest and most efficient way to get the air out of my break line

Answer 1

YES THAT IS THE ONLY WAY IF YOU HAVE AIR IN THE LINE.  BUT NEXT TIME YOU CHANGE THE BREAK PADS DON'T USE THE BLEEDER JUST OPEN THE CAP ON FLUID RESIVOIR AND GET A PAIR OF WATER PUMP PLIARS TO PUSH THE CALIPERS BACK IN.

Answer 2

Start with the wheel thats the farthest away from the master cylinder, if you donot, you wont get all the air out~

Then have her pump the peadl until its stiff, and hold it, then you open the bleeder valve until nothing is coming out, the first couple of times, it will be bubbly fluid mixed with air, bleed each valve until its pure fluid coming out, then go to the next farthest wheel and repeat, checking the fluid each time, thats all there is to it.

And BTW you do not have to open the bleeder valves to do the front brakes, just pry the pads away from the rotor using a tire iron or large screwdriver until they are far enough away to place the new ones in.
