Brake bleeding sequence

fastguy9r · 07-03-2012, 08:21 PM

Hello! Going to change my brake fluid to Motul 600 becouse I am racing at Mid -Ohio this weekend. I need to know what sequence I need to bleed the brakes including inner or outer caliper bleeders. Let me know! Thanks, Ken

I believe the traditional thinking is inner then outer on each caliper starting with passenger rear, driver rear, pass front, driver front. However, I also read that with modern ABS braking systems it doesn't really matter! I just bled my brakes in that order and they feel great- no problems. Good luck!

Yeah, traditional thinking is to bleed from furthest to closest in terms of brake line length. So RR, LR, RF, LF, outer first then inner, although for the caliper I doubt it makes any difference unless they are dry. The reason for the sequence on the caliper is so that the cross-over tube gets filled first.
