nothing! Pressure does not build up when pumping brakes with ignition off. I only need to do the front calipers. What's the proper procedure for bleeding? Thought I was doing it right, but guess not.

Thanks,

i would let it gravity bleed first. and check to make sure the bleeder screws aren't clogged.

 

I didn't do it right, I think. Didn't wait for the fluid to stop spewing out of the bleeder valve before closing.

Are you just opening the bleeder valve and then pumping them? If you do it that way you are just going to get air back into the system.

 

The wife pumped, then she depressed the pedal. After that, I opened the vavle.

 

Ok, well you are going to hear lots of different things from different people on how to bleed brakes. The way I've always done is it to open the valve, depress the pedal, shut the valve, and release the pedal, keep doing that until they are bled. Its a little bit slower that way but its always worked for me. Also make sure you start with the one farthest away from the master cylinder.

 

Are you filling the fluid reservoir and replacing the cover before bleeding process?

 

Yes!

 

Why do you need to start with the one furthest away from the master cylinder?

 

anyone?
