While watching an episode of Motorweek this past weekend their in-resident
mechanic was explaining the
procedure to follow to bleed your brakes. Normally the sequence I've always
heard calls for bleeding them
in the following order - right rear, left rear, right front, & left front.
However, this guy claimed the proper
procedure to be - start with EITHER of the rear calipers, then the
diagonally opposed front caliper, then
the other rear & lastly the diagonally opposite front. In demonstrating he
went in the sequence of LR, RF,
RR, & LF. Any of you guys ever run into this type of sequence before & if
so, why would this be a better
method than what I've always heard? Thanks for any comments!
