Krzys Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Just been reading the Haynes manual ahead of when it comes to bleeding my brakes and found something interesting about the sequence for bleeding the brakes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Bollox that is! Should be done diagonally. As that is how the prop valve distributes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 That says to do them diagonally dude apart from the Aerodeck's for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 I was always told to start furthest away from the master cylinder. TBH though as long as you go round again after you've done a full circuit and there's no air coming out and you have a solid pedal then all should be well.

Krzys Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah just thought it was interesting what the book says, my dad reckons it'll be because it uses a split system for the brakes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Yeah that's what I mean still do aerodecks diagnoly. And yeah furthest away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Just seems weird they suggest doing it different in that, the manual from here has a different sequence again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Hmmm seems the kit is probably as important as the order you do it in. The two pipes keep coming apart just as the pedal firms up, so once that's happened it feels like it's back to square one!First time I've ever done this so I'm weary of getting it right!

Dexter Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Like Haynes the aerodeck workshop manual available here from the site gives instructions to bleed in this order: front left, front right, rear right, rear left. However the notes says this is for LHD models, for RHD it's symmetrical... what ever that means in this instance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted October 14, 2014 Author Share Posted October 14, 2014 Yeah I never did find out which way it meant, left to right or front to rear order you change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
