Bleeding Brakes Question?Need Help.
Hello guys I couldn't find a DIY on bleeding Brakes so hopefully somebody here could give me a hand.
So I was gonna get my calipers powder coated with my wheels and I took them all off, as I was taking them apart I saw how time consuming it would be, so I decided I would paint them another day instead. That being said I now have to bleed all the calipers. I have the akebono 4 and 2 piston calipers with two bleeding valves. Wich one do you bleed first the inner valve or the outer? And does brake fluid always come out when you depress the pedal? Or does it stop coming out at a certain point?
Thanks in advance guys.

I honestly don't know. I hate autozoo with a passion. Don't ask. You don't want to hear the rant.
I just do. Even if they don't carry it, I'm sure they've got the mityvac or some variation which may help significantly.

You will not find that tool at autozone, advanced auto or pepboys.
Order it online (amazon?)
Mine has the quick release chuck (similar to what's used on a shop air hose) so I can use the same pump for several different adapters.
The FSM has the proper bleeding order. Search the site for the fsm for your car, I don't have the link handy.
Did you at least plug the lines so the reservoir didn't run dry?

I've had my Motive Power Bleeder for something like 8 years and have bleed probably a dozen different cars brakes with it. Awesome product.
If you buy, let's say, the 107 model, but get another car in the future, they have adapters, don't they?
***EDIT***
Actually checked myself once I got to the computer. lol Yes, they do have adapters.

Any suitable plug would work. You just don't want the master running dry which is then a pain to bleed. There may or may not be procedure for the abs unit too.
