i know this is a tech question... but i'm trying to get the civic prepped for a Solo I tomorrow... when bleeding the wilwood 4 piston calipers, do i bleed all 4 screws or just the one farthest from the brake line?

first time i did it, i remember reading something that said u only need to bleed one, but i can't find that sheet.

thanks,
Hunter

 

in my car i did all four....in the race car we have the bottoms cut off cause of leaking.....so we just do the tops

 

I had just done this last weekend prior to an event...

Normally you're supposed to do both top bleeders on each caliper. Although, while I was bleeding I thought it may be helpfull every once in awhile to do all four. Just in case there is some sediment/contaminent that is heavy enought to resist the bleeding process and sit at the bottom of the caliper.

Actually, I ended up removing the bottom two bleeders on each caliper and using 1/8 NPT Allen head plugs. Just to cut down on the possible areas of leaks.

thanks, i talked to dave earlier, and said just to do the tops.

that's a good idea about plugging the bottom bleeders.
