Brake bleed sequence

Post by ADS1 » Sun Apr 21, 2013 2:55 pm

Forgot to print off the brake bleed sequence before leaving to do my brakes.
Can someone please post up the correct sequence for 4g please.

Thanks.

You start with the furthest one away from the cylinder.
So
N/S Rear
O/S Rear
N/S front
0/S front

Oddly, the sequence is different than usual, it's in the manual, but not furthest away and work inwards!

That's an age old battle either corner to corner or furthest away. I always go furthest away, either way air will be coming out lol.

Well i've done them once by what ratty said. Got to do them again tho to be sure, as most of the fluid came out while changing lines.
Will do them by the manual next time :D
