Going to replace the pistons and rubbers in the the front and rear brake calipers this weekend. But in which order do I bleed the brakes, normally I work from the furthest to the nearest caliper from the master cylinder, but looking at the front calipers there are three nipples to bleed. The question is do I have to bleed the highest nipple last or open all three nipples at the same time and use a pressurized system to put the brake fluid in. Thanks for your time.

Is this an NAS Disco? They only have one bleeder for each caliper. The RRC have three on the front calipers and one on each rear.

Regardless a pressure bleeder is the only way to go, especially on the RRC system. I think Perrone has a reprint of the workshop manual on his site that shows the bleeding order of the power and hydrostatic circuits. I did it recently, but cannot remember the order off hand.

Whoa, that title got my attention. I was about to suggest a less abraisive bra, or taping them over before you go on a run. At least see your doctor about them. Get a "professional" breast exam and possibly a mammogram. Don't be so kinky, but if you must, use clamps with weaker springs. This should be a lesson to you to reconsider any body piercings......Oh! I guess you are talking about brakes here, never mind.
