brake bleed order!

[PPTom]

changing my fluid this week, as well as adding some braided lines on the front, (i understand theyre not needed on the rear) and new disks and pads on the front. what order do i have to bleed the calipers? some say furthest first, some closest.

 

[big hp]

Furthest away first.

Yup, furthest away. So start back corner (passenger side) then the back drivers side, then front passanger side and finally front drivers side. I think that's the way I did mine, something like that. lol.

thanks, can someone please confirm that i dont need to fit the rear braided lines on a 182

Yep no real need.

 

[Fred@BTM]

[PPTom]

fred, i think it was one of your posts i read where you said they arent needed, by the way have you sent them yet!! if they are easy to do i may as well do it though

 

[PPTom]

my apologies fred, just checked back and found i was wrong (probably read it under a homebrew haze)

Surely there would be more pressure on the rear hoses if there is no give in the fronts.
