correct method to bleed brakes??

(1/5) > >>

nickW:
ive just replace the front metal brake pipes on my J reg Disco and after the bleeding they are still not working probably, am i doing it correctly

hand brake off

start with rear passenger

then rear drivers side

front passenger, starting by doing the inner most nipple first and at the same time

then front drivers

nickW:
anybody???

woody:
if you are struggling try bleeding through the pipe first is there plenty of pressure ???
if it is only a front pipe(s) you may only need to bleed the front brakes.
if you need to bleed all the brakes try bleeding the nearest to the master cyl first
also got some one to press the peddle for you and you may find it easier to use an easy bleed system apiece of tube into a bottle and then you can se if there is any air in the system

nickW:
i always thought you were suposed to do the furthest away from the master cylinder first

if that doesnt work try it the other way round
i personally had to use mole grips on my flexi pipes when i bled my brakes on my s11 but i would never advise that on someone elses vehicle

another thought it could be your master cyl
i have had that after changing pipes n stuff

if i remember (not Land Rover) on duel brake systems for one vehicle you
bled off side rear, O/S front 2 nipples near side front bottom niples
near side rear n/s front 2 nipples o/s front bottom nipple
or was it the other way around

brakes can be complex
