Gravity bleed

[kdfwagen]

I have more time then money this coming week. I have already replaced the pads and rotors on all four corners (brembo rotors & akebono pads).

I am looking to bleed the brakes now. I was wondering if anybody has tried gravity bleeding the brakes on their b8 s4, and how successful they were at doing it. I can do it while I am at work and have plenty of time.

gravity bleed doesn't really work to much no days with how complicated ABS modules are now. Just barrow a friend and have him just pump the brakes. Will take you about 2 hours start to finish wheels off and wheels on.

Last time I did brakes we used a power bleeder from Princess Auto, I think it was $25CAD or something and it made bleeding the brakes really easy. Still need two people, but not having to worry about air getting back into the callipers was awesome. If you don't go that route, pick up a set of powerbleeders (http://www.speedbleeder.com/), then you won't have to worry about accidentally drawing air back into the line.
