Re: Bleeding brakes:why more pedal travel? 200 84

posted by  someone claiming to be Stoney on  Tue Sep 15 02:45 CST 1998 [RELATED]

Here is the caliper bleeding sequence

1 Left Rear

2 Left Front upper/top single nipple

3 Right Front upper/top single nipple

4 Right Rear

5 Right Front Lower/bottom 2 nipples

6 Left Front Lower/bottom 2 nipples

Also get an EZ Bleeder ($30) and change the fluid for new DOT 4 and bleeed until you see 3-4 inches of new clear/bubble free fluid out of the hose at the caliper...let the fluid sit for a day ofr so before use to allow the bubbles inside the can to rise and pop...I've had a few problems with using fluid that was shaken up before use...
