Bleeding Brakes?

#1 09-13-2006, 04:06 PM

I have a TAD that cracked the plastic resevior on the master cylinder... (wilwood) Have a complete new M/C to replace it... My question is, The calipers have 2 bleed screws each... 1 has a rounded hex head which I can get a socket on, but is a mother to bleed... Do I need to bleed all 4 bleeders or can I just do the top ones, or do I need to bleed them all...??? Anyone that knows??? Uncle Bob??? Thanks Ray

I believe they have two so that you can bleed whichever one is on top for it's position. Don't think you'll get all the air out by bleeding a bottom one.

Sorry didn't hear the phone.............
The bottom bleeders are for convience of switching calipers from side to side, although it does make it a little easier to do the first cracking there. After it's known that fluid is there, use the top only. DO NOT pump the brake fast while bleeding, it will only turn the big bubbles into hundreds of little ones, go slow on the pumps (3 min.) then slower yet.
Let it set for ten minutes and do over. Be sure to use clear hose into jar with fluid to not suck air back in.
