i rebuild the front calipers. do i need to bleed the rears too? i just bled the fronts and it seems fine.

 

the benefit of bleeding the rears is to replace that old fluid with new fresh fluid.

brake fluid is hydrophilic. which means it attracts water, and will spread out any water throughout the system. so basically all your old fluid going to the rears will be eventually mixed with the new fluid and contaminate it.

why not bleed the rears? its not much harder to do. dont half *** it.

 

cause its rainging out side and i just wanted to get it back on the road and make sure it would be ok like that. i do intend to change out all the fluid cause it is dirty. one of these days. thanks tyson
