GT PP Brake bleed order ?

[ANGST]

For the life of me I can't find the thread. Someone had posted what the bleed instructions were from the Ford service manual .

I have read that the bleed order is ( the same as all cars ) furthest from MC to neared , RR , LR , RF , LF . Since we have 2 bleeders in the front though I read it's RF ( inner , outer , inner again ) then LF . Is that correct ? Does anyone have the page from the service manual ?

You are spot on. I think I bled mine for like 30-40 seconds per valve.

That's what in my CD-ROM copy of the 2008 shop manual. I can't think of a good reason for them to have changed it, while I have heard of difficulties elsewhere when omitting the second 'inner' bleedings.

Does bleeding 2019 PP2 brake system take about the same amount of fluid as the old S197 Brembo's?

I did mine in the above order , I ran 2 bottles through .

Thanks. That seems like the same amount. Maybe a third bottle if I give the clutch a good bleed.

I've only done outter then inner on the pp Brembos. Not sure why the repeat is required...

Outer first? That would be different than instructions for Brembos that I've seen.

Best guess I have for the inner-outer-inner again sequence is that at the beginning of the outside bleed a small air bubble could conceivably migrate back into the inside. Maybe not too likely, just possible.

Outer is downstream from the inner so it would follow the process of furthest from master cylinder first. At least that was my reasoning. Hasn't been an issue...

My guess is they want the inner bled to flush out any debris on the inner side before it gets pushed over to the outer side. Considering I bleed frequently and the power bleeder doesn't provide that much flow I'm not that worried about debris migration.
