Re: Bleeding brakes Posted by Larry West [Email] (#1140) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Larry West) on Thu, 6 Jun 2013 08:59:06 In Reply to: Re: Bleeding brakes, Craig, Wed, 5 Jun 2013 14:41:29 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Well, as others mentioned, certain cars with certain systems should be bled/flushed in a specific order. I recall the Classic 900 with ABS had one bleed the LF first, draining off almost a full liter of fluid so as to clean out all the ABS components. Then to the RF, taking about 1/3 of that (after it goes clear, of course). Then the rears were bled by letting the ABS pump do all the work.
I'd have to consult WIS for the proper procedure on a modern Saab, though.
Bleed nipples come in all sizes, so one may need different tubing for the fronts and rears...
