Default Bleeding brakes

how do you bleed brakes on a 98 lx sedan. I have the brembo rotors and aem pads and they are requiring to much pressure on the pedal to keep in it stoped.

Default Re: Bleeding brakes (eriklxsd)

get a plastic container, on the caliper there is a bleeder screw, with someone stepping on the brake pedal, open the bleeder screw and watch the fluid coming out until it has no bubbles, do this for all 4 wheels. I dont remember the order: Pass rear, pass front, driver rear, driver front... Anyone shed light??

Let the fluid from the bleeder screw drip into the plastic container!!!!!

I just did my brakes yesterday. Left side rear, right front, right rear, left front. I used bleeder screws and the only problem I encountered was I didn't get one of bleeders on all of the way so all the fluid on the wheel came out.
