    Brake Job Question

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I've searched and couldn't find anything solid. I'm going to flush the system and was wondering if I needed any special tools? I was just going to flush it by bleeding all the fluid out with the pedal method. Is that sufficient enough?

    Reminds me of when I worked at Subway and I would ask, "White, Wheat, or Sourdough?" and the response was "Yes"...

    What order should I bleed the brakes? I don't have a manual so I can't look it up.

    I got another quick question. I'm in the middle of doing my brakes right now and was wondering what is the break in period for the new rotors. They are Adam Rotors "Street". Hope someone can chime in before I finish.

    You don't pump the brakes. You just hold the pedal down as far as you can.

    This may be an obvious question, but do you actually have the bleeder valve open?

    I'm trying to get the air out the system. Aren't I suppose to pump until it gets hard and then open the blessed valve to release the air?

    You normally have two people to do a brake job. You will have one person in the car press down the brake as far as it will go, then you'll crack open the bleeder valve, then close it, then the person in the car will let off the brake...

    If you did it right, there shouldn't be any air in the system to start with.

    I replaced my lines so that is why I had to bleed the system. But lets move on from that. I think I have bigger problems. Everything is back together and now when I roll over a bump, I hear something ringing from the front wheels. I think I narrowed it down to the front driver side.
