Brake bleeding question!!

[Supergeek]

I received by Bavauto one man bleeder kit today to finally bleed my brakes properly and it didnt come with any instructions! I want to do this right because this is the only thing keeping me from driving my 02. Car has Ireland big brake kit (non tii). Thanks!!!

fill it up, screw the thing on the reservoir, pump it up to 15-20 or till you see fluid oozing out of your blue flex lines from the filler to the MC and start bleeding. Follow the sequence furthest to closest and depending on what calipers you have do those correctly too. don't forget the clutch.

whatever you do make sure you dont' force air into the system - bad news. This is very straightforward

Follow David's directions. Bleed until the fluid runs clear (or close to it) at each bleeder screw to make sure that you get all of the old fluid out. Don't run out of fluid or you will get the air that David mentioned, and you'll need to do it all over again. If you have a 69+, check a shop manual for bleed order on the caliper bleeders (there are 3 per side). I think the top should be done last. Don't forget you clutch slave while you're at it.

When you're done, relieve pressure at the pressure bleeder fill cap before detaching it from the MC reservior - less mess.
