I'm doin a brake job soon and I just need to know the bleeding order for a 97 with abs. Also which fluid should I get dot 3 or 4? Or something else? FAQ pics are down.

 

look at the master cylinder cap and will tell you if is dot 3 or 4.

 

It should be dot 3. What are you doing calipers, wheel cylinder, or lines? If your not any of those you don't have to bleed for pads and rotors or shoes and drums.

 

I'm doing pads and rotors. But the fluid hasn't been changed so I'm putting new fluid in there unless it doesn't need to be done. Then I won't

 

Your fluid should be a clearish yellow color. If its not then i would change the fluid. It should be dot 3

 

Yes DOT 3.

^ good info

 

what brakes are you putting on the car?
I just bought some myself and am going to install them this weekend: Powerslot Slotted Fronts, Cyrostop rears, Hawk HPS pads

 

I'm putting on checker blank rotors and some ceramic pads from checker. The rotors have a two year warranty.

 

sounds good! goodluck with the install

 

When you say "checker" do you mean the store associated with kragen?

Seriously though, I don't know. They sell oreily's generic brand **** there. Checker always has the cheapest prices on everything I need. When I did my wheel bearing it was only $40 or so at checker, but vatozone and napa wanted $70

 

O'Reilly brake stuff is repackaged Raybestos. I've seen it on other forums and my brother just got a set for his Talon TSi. The part number and price were the same as the O'Reilly pads on partsamerica, but the box said Raybestos at the store he went to.
