Bleeding R34

[nsm034]

was talking to a brake bloke the other day and he said that some cars have different sequences to bleeding the brakes . does anyone know if my r34 does or is it just straight forward. thanks

If its any indication, my mechanics did it on Wednesday in an anti-clockwise clockwise fashion so facing the car from the front did the drivers front, then passenger front, passenger rear then driver rear. They used some vacuum tool to suck it out though (so bleeding and pedal pumping isnt required).

Start with the wheel furthest from the ABS unit.

You don't need one , just pump the brake pedal and start from the wheel thats further away from the abs unit then work your way to the closest .

Suction pumps are good for workshops because they are quick , if you dont know how to use one you will run the master cil dry and then you have more work in your hands . If you do manage to get one make sure your mate is standing by the master cil with the barke fluid toping it up as you go .
