Default bleeding brake lines.

I got air in my lines when trying to bleed my rear calapers. Is their a master valve That I should bleed while adding dot 4 brake fluid? Or just bleed the same line I was earlyer?

how many time should i press the peddle? I only have 2 small bottles of brake fluid. An how do you bleed them? Just pump the pedal? I got told to pump it a few times then hold it down.

This is also in my 05 ep3

Thanks in advance

I've done plenty at work.

2 people are required of course.

1st pump 4 times and hold while other turns the bleed bolt and then tightens.

same for all 4.

****, I didnt tighten it every time after I bleed it. I had a tube going into a container with brake fluid so no air would get sucked back up. But no more air came out. I had a buddy pump it 5 times each.

Doing that just sucks the bubbles back into the line.

i worked at 3 dealerships and it works fine. The 2 Chevy dealers did that method. All though, BMW(my current dealership) has a tool that sucks it out by hooking it up to the bleed, but I doubt he has that tool.
