Quick question to clear my understanding of 4 bleed screws being on a single caliper. Do you have to bleed each bleed screw or just one? And, the bleed screws on the wilwoods are extremely tiny. No hose I have is big enough for it to cleed them corretly.

 

Wilwood uses either 2 or 4 bleeders on their calipers, 2 are for the side specific calipers and 4 are for the universal mount calipers. This allows the user to mount the caliper in any spot he chooses, leading or trailing, front or rear uses. If you have a caliper with 4 bleeders, only bleed the ones on top. No sense in "bleeding" out the bottom ports since air will rise, don't mess with bleeders on the bottom. If you have the side specific calipers, the bleeders will be on top and there will be a crossover tube on the bottom and you will know which ones to use. Since there are pistons on both sides of the caliper, each side must be bled at the top.

Thanks for that too, I've got the four bleed screw caliper and was going to ask the same question......when I get round to fitting them of course!

 

No problem.

Reviving an old thread...just looking for a little clarification, do we bleed both top valves or one at a time?

both, but one at a time is fine

 

Thank you
