look in the Haynes manaul!

Farthest awau from the master cylinder first, then work your way closer.
So rear right, rear left, front right, front left.

Lots of tricks & tips on the site do a search.

RR, LR, RF, LR

speedbleeders are your friends!

and those big tank things taht pressurize the resivour....

dralf aka Al Flesher had one....i must get one. made the job SO easy

so when should the proportioning valve be bled?

after the rears but before the fronts?

I believe you bleed that during the rear brake bleeding....

fluid comes through the prop valve.

b

I bleed 1/2 quart through each caliper, then let it sit and bleed a 1/4 quart through each caliper. I use the pressure bleeder. Speedbleeders are WELL worth the cost. Also search for trekkor's thread on using a 10' clear hose to recycle clean fluid.

Motive Products power bleeder, the only way to go.
