Brake bleeding

[rockola1971]

You guys are doing it wrong. Tech 2 scanner...One man bleeding and let the ABS pump do the work for you using the brake bleed function in the tech 2! Its fast and works great.

It's only a short trip to Oregon from Houston. Hope you have tire chains for the passes.

the guy working the bleeder valve is the boss... hes yelling, PUMP. HOLD EM. PUMP, HOLD EM. TILL HE GETS FLUID ONLY LOL

My pump method also incorporates cycling the key at specific times with the pedal stroke, and I ain't about to try to explain this to a helper when I can do it all by myself in a fraction of the time.

I crack the bleeder, slip on the clear tubing, work the pedal and key while watching the fluid in the tubing with my GoPro sync'ed to my phone, check the reservoir, etc. I can replace the fluid in the entire system and bleed it in about 30 minutes by myself.

Hey guys, I'm going to replace my rear brake calipers. My left rear is grabbing bad. I'm also replacing the rubber brake lines on both sides. When bleeding the brakes I assume you go about it one side at a time? Or do you bleed them at the same time?

Hey Livebai8, take a look at my post below. I think it will help with a couple of basics and make your task quite a bit easier.

I have an opportunity to use a pneumatic brake bleeder once I get to this point. Who's used one? How did it fair? Was easier than is it manual bleeder? Also...should I empty the fluid reservoir and fill will with new fluid before bleeding? I'm changing the rear rubber hoses tonthe calipers too.
