Help on bleeding new power brake system
I've bled brake lines w/ original reg. brake systems, but having problems bleeding power brake. Do I keep pressing my brakes and open and close valve at each wheel or use a jar w/ brake fluid at each wheel brake line end( one at a time). Is there something different about bleeding power brakes

Bleeding the power brakes is the same as manual.

Re: Help on bleeding new power brake system
Make sure you bench bleed the master cylinder first. You'll never get the spongy feeling out of the brakes if you don't.

Re: Help on bleeding new power brake system
Thanks good buddy, I successfully bled my new power disc brake system. Master cylinder U turn bleed first then bled the rest of the system like an ol' school manual brake system. 100-200 total pumps for a new empty system though. took a while before I felt good pressure in the pedal THANKS
