Thread: Brake Bleeding Procedure

When I replaced my stock braked with stock ones I rebuilt after I had them powder coated, I did the same method at the caliper with a helper pushing the brake pedal. RR,LR,RF,LF. I was always taught longest line, to the shortest line.

NEVER had a problem, and the ABS still worked cause in that year I had to mash the brakes atleast twice and they worked like they should.

Several years later, I removed those, and installed F-Body fronts, and a new set of stock rears I had power coated the same color again, redid the same bleed set up at the calipers. RR,LR,RF,LF. NEVER had a problem to this day.

I have been told, the "correct" method is to bleed them system at the ABS module. I never have done it on my car that way, or the countless other cars I have done, and have never had a brake problem. I takes brakes very seriously on my own car, as well as when I work on somebody else's. Its kinda life or death if they fail.

That's what I do, and have been doing since I have had a car with ABS. First car with ABS was a '94 Cavalier. Never a problem on that car either.
