[Shotimes] Brake Bleeding

[don donelson]

When u brake bleed a taurus u have to X bleed them  or u wont get any air
out of the rear lines. I ran into this myself and talked to the techs at the
Ford dealership I work at.

You have to bleed the rear/right first ... than the front/left than the
rear/left and lastly .. the front/right.

As Dave K. said .... it does help to have the rear suspension fully
compressed in it full open position for the rear bias switch.
