I'm doing my brake fluid flush today and after doing a search I found several different orders in which to do the brake bleeding. What should it be for a 2000 ITR?

thanks guys

 

Front first, then back.

 

hmmm, that would be contradictory to everyone saying to "start furthest from the MC"...

i've read back right, front right, back left, front left... and several other combinations, but none that started with the front

 

According to my Helm's, the bleed order should be:

Front Left, Front Right, Rear Right, Rear Left

Hope that helps.

 

Do a search, its been discused. Does not realy matter on todays brake systems.

Craig - Who bleeds it according to the helm

 

thats what everyone is telling me, so i'll do it in that order. thanks man

 

Well - I'm all done... I did it as you suggested and as I was told by Budman in KC. The other thread I started here: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=219630 has varying other comments, but either way, my brake feel is back to about 90%, so I'm about 90% happy.

Maybe the Hawk's are still a little glazed or whatever from the track, so maybe I'll get it back to a 100% in a few weeks of driving. Thanks HT-er's

 

Did you get some help bleeding your brakes? It's a two person operation. One to apply even pressure to the pedal and one to open and close the bleed valve.

-Tommy who has should bleed his brakes soon.

 

I know for a fact that it is:

left rear
right front
right rear
left front

An Acura mechanic told me this.

I would believe my Helm's manual over my Acura Mechanic...but that's just me

 

That's the order that we did Brandon's brakes in and it seemed to work. Plus, if you knew John, you'd probably do what he told you....

 

you guys are so funny... i'm starting to think it doesn't really matter

 

Totally correct!

Brandon - who just changed his fluid to Super Blue last week!

 

This topic has been gone over many many times. The fact is that it truely does not matter. I have talked to many many techs at many honda shops and on average it does not matter. Do what makes you and your brakes the happiest. JMO though, enjoy.

 

Riiiiiight. Anyways...it doesn't matter. I've been following Helms for two years now and never had a problem using the order they said.

I will try the method your Acura mechanic recommends, see if it works "better"
