Brake bleed question

AfireINSIDE · Apr 19, 2007, 01:14 PM

Ok I use speedbleeders http://www.speedbleeder.com/ very easy to use, and in my case today too easy. I wanted to bleed new fluid in the whole system.

I did rear pass, front pass, then onto the rear driver and forgot to top off the fluid. So I got air into the line. I rebled the inner bleeder then the outer of the rear driver (both had air) Then I finished up with the driver front (no air)

Question is: With getting air into the rear driver side caliper/lines will this force air into the rest of the system? Or due to speedbleeders design will the air follow the path of least resistance and just go out of the bleeder that is open/opening?

It's possible you got air into the whole system, just reblled them again to be safe.

Also I've always blead the furthest wheel from the master cylinder first and then move closer. So passenger rear, driver rear, passenger front, driver front.

to be on the safe side, I too would suggest to re-bleed the whole system.
