Just picked up a set of front end brakes, Wilwood Calipers with SS lines and pretty excited, these are 4 piston calipers.

Bleeding them seems like is going to be a B*TCH as there are 4 bleeder valves, I think it is best to focus on top bleeder with a tube submerged into fluid? anyone have experience with this?

Last night attempted to bleed, no fluid was coming out; but dumb me forgot to submerge opposite end the tube - sounds like a stupid question just want to confirm. (with each pump on the brake pedal it forces out, and sucks back - I would want it sucking flud back in not air which leads me to believe this is why no fluid was coming out and getting no where)

 

google. found your answer there when i searched

 

Sounds to me like you dint know how to bleed brakes....


Pump pedal 3-5 times, slowly, hold down.
Open bleeder, closer bleeder.
Repeat.

You don't need to submerge the hose end.

 

Thanks guys, I know how to bleed brakes the conventional way; but how do you hold the brake pedal down, while simultaneously close the bleeder valve? A stick? LOL

The hose submerged in brake fluid is the one-person method I was referring to.

Thx

 

You need a vacuum bleeder to do it by yourself.

Im sure there are other ways, but that is the correct way.
