Hi,
This might have been answered earlier but I can't find it. When bleeding calipers with dual ports, do you bleed the bottom one first or the top one? I'm guessing the bottom one first but not sure. Cheers, Elliot |

You're correct.
Also rap on the proportioning valve and caliper with a wrench or something to release any trapped bubbles. Another trick is to jack up each corner of the car that is being bled. Thought being that any trapped air will rise to that corner and come out. And have lots of extra fluid and bleed like crazy. Keep an eye on your fluid level, that it doesn't get low, so you don't introduce exta air into the system. Also... invest in speed bleeders if you don't have a helper. Hope that helps! |
