Brake Bleeding

[TRIGGER]

:D Hi all, ive just had a font caliper overhall along with new pads/discs, what i wanted to know is that do i have to bleed the whole system ie all 4 calipers?. I spoke to my local garage who overhalled the calipers about it and they said i only had to bleed the front calipers as there would still be brake fluid sitting in the back brake pipes, please help, thx all TRIG :D :D .

Bleeding the fronts will do.

(assuming you sealed the pipes when you removed the calipers?)

Hi m8, i didnt seal the pipes as i empted the whole sytem to make way for fresh fluid, my pedal feels k though, it isnt going down or anything when i press it. i will only be able to tell 100% if they are k when i break the new brakes in properly, will i have to bleed them all you think then or not anyway because i empted the whole system?, thx for the reply m8 TRIG.

I you've emptied the entire system you will need to do all four calipers. The usual advise is to begin on the one with the longest length of brake pipe until the shortest.

This order:

Rear O/S

Rear N/S

Front N/S

Front O/S
