yes i have searched the archives and found some good info but.... 1. in the workshop manual it states "the following procedure covers bleeding the complete system but where only the primary and secondary circuit have been disturbed in isolation, it should be necessary to bleed the system." What the hell does that mean? 2. Have to do the pads also so... do i change the pads and then bleed or vice versa? I plan on buying a power bleeder. 3. Just use a regular clear plastic tube and attach to the nipple or special kind? thanks | ||

I believe that means that if you replace a single brake line, you can use the procedure outlined in the manual. I'm planning on replacing my brake fluid when I put in stainless steel lines, so I don't know what procedure to use. I would think you would want to replace the pads then bleed the system. I've read that retracting the pistons can stir up the fluid, introducing air into the lines. Don't know if it's true. If anyone has a write-up on doing a complete brake fluid change, please chime in. | ||

I recently upgraded my brakes to the AB high performance kit. I bled the brakes and there was a bunch of air that came out so regardless, I would bleed brakes. It only takes an extra 10 minutes or so. |
