Default wilwood brake line and bleeding question? please help

When you bleed the 4 piston caliper do you start with the top 2 one at a time and then bleed the bottom two? Also do you just loosen the bottom part of the bleeder screw ( where its gold) or on the black part on top. Also should you start the car while bleeding?


Also on the new SS lines with the plastic coating they have a built in 90 degree bend at one end. Does it matter which side that bend connects on?

I also spilled a little brake fluid on top of the alternator. Would that cause the car not to start? I'm gonna let it sit and see if it will start.

Well, all bleeder's are different, so you would need to put up a pic so we could determine gold/black difference.
But, if I remember correctly from the Wilwoods, it is the gold bleeder that you are going to use.

When you bleed, you should to from one corner of the car, to the next opposite. It is better than just doing only the fronts.

The 90 bend should go to the brake side.

Alternator -an alternator has nothing to do with the car starting, only once it is started. However, the little bit of fluid would probably not harm anything anyway.
