I just finished installing my SS brake lines as well as OEM track rotors and track pads. I also bought some Motul RBF 660. I have a Motive pressure bleeder...

I'm ready to bleed the brakes and I searched in vain a clear way of doing it (pressure used? wheel sequence? nipple sequence?)

For the pressure bleeder I've read everything ranging from 12-15 psi all the way up to 30-50 psi! I dont want to damage anything with too much pressure.

wheel sequence I've seen classic RR-RL-FR-FL sequence (starting farthest from MC)... but I also saw FL-FR-RR-RL!

nipple sequence I've seen inside first and outside first!!

So a lot of confusion! It would be cool to make a "how-to" thread on the subject based on the replys.

So what are you using/doing to bleed the brakes?

Thanks!

Shop manual says :

- 30-50 psi on pressure bleeder,
- RR-RL-FR-FL
- Inside bleeder screw first, then outside one

I just did that on a GT. Pumped bleeder just above 25 psi.
Shop manual is worth investing in (covers GT350 as well).
