C1 Brakes

[Edward D. Reich]

Looking through my service guide, I cannot find anything on the procedure of bleeding brakes if there is one. Can anyone tell me if there is a procedure like starting with the left front first and going clockwise from there?? Some one said there was. Not sure.

Thanks, Ed Reich

Re: C1 Brakes

I have always been led to believe one should start at the furthest point, ie right rear. I do it this way and have never experienced any difficulties.

The farthest point (at which to start) is actually the left rear (driver side).

Re: C1 Brakes

Hadn't thought about that, but you are absolutly correct; the line to the left side is quite a bit longer from the rear block. Apparently it doesn't make much difference since I've been doing it incorrectly for better than 35 years with good results!! I suspect that it is important to start at the rear though.
