Fill the attached reservoir with brake fluid. If your reservoir runs out of brake fluid at any time during your bleed, you’ll have to start from the beginning. You should only put clean brake fluid that is less than two years old into the reservoir. Make sure it’s in between the “max” and “min” marks and covers the ends of the hoses.
What’s the best way to start the Brake bleeding sequence?
(IMO ) You should do farthest to nearest. This way your pushing all the air that is already trapped out at the farthest point which takes the longestbecause there is so much lines but it can’t go any farther than that (if you start up front it can go to either RF,LR,or RR).
