"Proper sequence for bleeding the brakes is:
1. Left front wheel
2. Right front wheel
3. left front bogie
4. left rear bogie
5. right front bogie
6. Right rear bogie"
HELP!!
The manual (X-7625) for my '76 says exactly the opposite!
I'm trying to provide tips to an otherwise very experienced mechanic as to
what works on a GMC, but this is very confusing. I know that there are
varying opinions on the preferred methods for accomplishing certain tasks,
but opposite techniques seem guite a bit more controversial.
Does it depend on which method is being used (push and hold the pedal,
vacuum bleeder, or pressure bleeder)?
I remember many months back that Heinz was having lots of trouble getting
his system bled, and finally arrived at a sequence that worked for him.
Which was it Heinz; front to back, or back to front. I note that Scott got
good results using the back to front sequence called for in the manual.
My brakes are being done next week, and if there really is a "right" way to
bleed the system, it would sure be helpful to know which it is, that is if
it really makes a difference.
I suspect many others may like to know if there is a sequence which works best.
Or is my feeble mind missing something here?
Thanks to any who offer opinions,
