View Full Version : Bleeding Brakes?? jc68gtcs 06/01/2008, 01:12 PM I just replaced my right rear wheel cylinder and now need to bleed the brakes. Can anyone tell me the proper sequence in which to do so.? thanks.. CougarCJ 06/01/2008, 02:35 PM Furthest from the master cylinder first and then the next. Passemger side rear Driver side rear Passenger side front Drivers side front This would probably be a good time to evacuate and replace with all fresh fluid. Bleed the reservoir completely through the wheel cylinders. Top it off with fresh before it reaches the bottom. We don't want any air bubbles let into the stream. franklinair 06/01/2008, 07:36 PM And be careful not to displace the brake warning light switch - or the light on the dash will stay on until you re-center it (or disconnect the connector to the switch, mounted adjacent to the master cylinder). Neil jc68gtcs 06/04/2008, 06:59 PM Thanks CougarCJ, that's pretty much how I went about it, but I can't seem to get the Brake Light to go out. Neil may have hit that on the head with the warning light switch scenario. I'll check that. Thanks guys.. franklinair 06/04/2008, 07:20 PM Not knowing whether the centering mechanism was displaced by front or rear bleeding, I would suggest that you bleed one or the other (it doesn't matter which) until the pedal goes to the floor. Then bleed the opposite brake end (front or rear) and only press the pedal half way. That should center the switch mechanism. Hope this helps.

Hope yours isn't that bad. Steve |
