[Tigers] Brake bleeding.

Normally, I gravity bleed the brake system but your starting from scratch so you will need to pump fluid to the 4 corners.

 

Always check for leaks after you bleed the brakes.

If you changed the rear brake shoes make any needed adjustments.

Yeah, I know.  I was just wondering if anyone had any schemes they thought worked better.

This is covered in the Workshop Manual – Section K, pg. 12

 

I always start at the rear.   

If your system is still original you have only one bleeder at the rear so that is the longest line from the master.

 

Next longest line is front left then the shortest line from the master, the front right.

 

Longest lines to the shortest line is the order no matter the system.

I'm going to be bleeding my whole system soon, after rebuilding everything.  From experience, what's the best order to bleed the system?  Fronts or rear first?  Left or right front first?  What's worked best for you?
