I figured I'd start with Wikipedia, the ultimate user editable database.

The first description is what I've usually read, and practice. Open the bleeder with a hose running from it to a jar, pump the pedal a few times, hold it in, close the bleeder, refill the master cylinder.

Further down the page is a set of instructions saying to pump a few times, hold the pedal down and THEN open the bleeder for a second, close it, release the pedal, and refill. Never heard of that.


Just did the first way to a Jeep about two hours ago and he said it brakes better then ever. I've never been excited about the brakes on my Jeep, even with the dual diaphragm booster and the use of a power bleeder. I'm hoping to learn something from this thread. When are you going to come tear apart all my hard work Blaine?


edit: wanted to add i've always read to go furthest from the master cylinder, to closest.
