bleeding brakes

[xyzse]

whats the correct order to bleeding brakes?ive heard seen 3 different orders of doing them i already bench bled the master cylinder.but someone said its another area to bleed around the mc also?thanks

[Brandoncb7]

As far as I know there's nothing else to bleed other than the mc and then all for calipers/drums. After bleeding the mc start with the back wheels and then do the front. Are you having a specific problem with your brakes or something?

front brakes were locking up after driving about 5 min,getting really hot.already bought new front brakes hoses and adjusted the mc rod.i bled them already but im pretty sure i did it in the wrong order.

Back left, Front Right
Back Right, Front left

and of course with abs its not that easy eh?

I was taut to start at the wheel farthest from the master cylinder

Dosen't make a difference at all. Now if you need to bleed the ABS pump itself that makes alot of difference.

The pattern I showed is the furthest away. We have split braking system, so Back left and front right work together.

Bleeding the ABS pump isn't difficult. I wrote a DIY on it.

yes you did. It sounds scary. Sooo.... can i bleed my brakes without bleeding an abs pump?

Hmm strange, i gusse you are right. I didn't think the setup of the brake system made a difference in the order you bleed it

And no offence... well...

You bleed your abs in a dangerous way. You opened up a high pressure brake fluid line without any sort of way of routing the fluid else where. Not to mention the mess you will make.

Yup.

Yup.

I put a tube over it. It fits perfectly and routes it into a bucket. I got a siphon pump from Autozone and that's what I use.

Oh, i didn't read past the first post really

Im just going to buy myself the bleed tool some day

Someone always ends up needing it and i'd be happy to let someone use it

I'd feel much safer using that. Not because it's the official one, but because the bleeder bolt is square. I don't have any line wrenches....

Clarification....

I wanted to ask seeing as I haven’t read this point anywhere else on here.

I have a new master cylinder as the old one was getting soft and would go to the floor if I held it long enough. I replaced it and bled all the wheels but unfortunately that does nothing for the air now in the accumulator. I have had the ABS light on for about 6 months.

I finally got around to getting a 9mm socket on the ABS bleeder and used the jumper wire from the two main electrical connections after pulling the relay. I have kept the reservoir full to not get air into it. I purged it for a good 25-30 seconds and saw a crap load of air get pushed out until I was getting pure fluid out. I closed the bleeder and jumped it 1 more time for 3-4 seconds then just quickly backed off and closed the bleeder to make sure no more air was in there.

Now here is the thing....ABS light still coming on after 10- 15 ft...meaning it doesn’t think it has enough pressure. My question is...how long did you jumper that again with the bleeder closed to build enough pressure in that accumulator ? Do you just jump it until it stops er what ? Does it know when to stop ? If it does make 3000 psi… how long does it take that motor to build that ?

Just thought I’d see if you had these issues.

Are you sure that is why your ABS light is on? Diagnose an ABS light like you would a CEL. Decipher the code and it'll tell you why it's on.

start with the wheel furthest from the master cylinder and work your way closer.*I think it goes RR, LR, RF, then LF.
