i figured you were by your self so i suggested the gravity bleeed method but if you have an extra hand you can do it the other way. just use one of the copper wahsers or it will most likely leak.

ya i can have my brother help me out. im about to go out and try it.

I "assume" he means use 1 on each side which is correct, if he means use just 1 total that is wrong and it will most definately leak.

if he didnt clamp off the line then yes he has to bleed the whole system. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

did you get it fixed ?

bleed it all any way clean fluid is good and dry. Old wet brake fluid can rust the lines from inside and can cause pistons and parts to lock up. A good brake job includes new fluid.

ya i got it in and bleed the back two and it feels good. i might just take it to a shop and do what gotparts suggested and get new fluid and have them bleed it completely.

if you bled the backs you can do the fronts, so save yourself a ton of wasted money bro //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

you can do it man!

just do it all yourself. don't bother going out of your way to change the brake fluid but if you bleed until you get clean fluid every time you do the brakes that's proper. your lines and parts will last longer then.

you wouldnt have to replace it but you would have to bleed it and then the entire system as well lolz.
