    Ok well I'm almost done with the swap. Just wondering do I need to brake all 4 sides or just the fronts?

    you mean bleed? you can do just the fronts, as long as the master stayed full of fluid. dont let it drain either when bleeding, the calipers will take more then one res full.

    I'm just about to shoot myself right now I can rebuild the whole top end but apparently can't bleed brakes. I'm using a vacuum pump and with it connected and the bleeder fully closed when I put pressure the pump is pulling in air I've checked the pumps connection to the bleeder 10 times and put grease around it to help with any leak but noooo still air!

    time for the silly questions to fly.

    are the bleeders on the top side of the caliper? or the bottom? if on the bottom, you need to take both off and swap sides. aka you got em on backwards.

    Haha no I read about too many people doing that i got it right. I also decided to bleed them all since the fluid is a couple years old so I am currently on the rear passenger caliper.

    Well I finally got it! I have no f*ckn idea why the rear brakes had so much air and took so long but once I got to the front brakes that took 5 minutes to bleed them both. Which is really stupid considering there the ones that had New calipers and lines installed. The rears should have been the easy ones.
