DIY: Bleed your brakes without removing your wheels (sport package only)
 

Here are the parts you will need

#1 10mm wrench
#2 Brake fluid (I used Amsoil DOT4, but my favorite is still the Castrol SRF)
#3 Motive Power Bleeder #0107 (Source: Amazon or Summit)
#4 Water to rinse the brake fluid off the car as you will get some on your car one way or another.

Optional but recommended
#1 A catch can to catch all old fluid along with a clear hose, I bought one for $10 that has 2 nipples and a rubber hose build in by Genesis Racing or something. You can use a 2L bottle if you want to save money.

Simply pour brake fluid into your motive bleeder, slip a 10mm onto each nipple along with a clear hose to catch old fluid. Once you are done, simply crack the bleeder at each caliper and you should be able to flush out your system within 15 minutes.

What no Pics, I'm disappointed.




































j/k ;) Thank You.

The Porsche guy said there might be a second nipple on the inside, let me check

The sport calipers have two nipples (one on the inside, one on the outside). This applies to both the front and the rear.

And I do anything necessary to avoid brake fluid on the paint. Didn't get any on it the first time around. The motive bleeder makes it much easier to avoid.

You forgot the step where you need to simply remove the spokes from the wheel so that you can reach the bleeders.

:roflpuke2:

Ya, the rear nipples are pretty much impossible to reach without removing the wheels.

No Wonder theres not Pics....
:bowrofl:

...story of my life

Are you kidding me? A DIY thread that mentions nipples a gazillion times with NO pics???? Where is Triple's when we need him? :inoutroflpuke: OH, he's been here and left - sorry! :)

:rofl2:

i was reading this thread like how the f- did the guy do the inner nipples on the akebono's.

DIY engine swap.

1) open hood
2) swap engine
3) close hood

LOL ... hahahah poor guy

:icon18::icon18::icon18:

It is possible but not fun. You have to access the inner bleed from under the car and from the inside of the rim. There is just enough room and having a long tube to bleed the fluid is mandatory. Not fun and sorry no pictures.

I'll just take the wheels off.

Yeah on the akebonos. It'd be a whole lot easier just to remove the wheels.

Do you need to bleed both the inside and outside bleeder screws if replacing the fluid?

Could you elaborate please?:rofl2:

:vuvuzela:

I love it !!

anyone?

Yeah you do, procedure is the same except you have to bleed the inside, which require wheel removal

Thanks!
