      Wilwood brake bleeding procedure question.

      On Wilwood calipers there`s 2 bleeders an inner and outter and I`m aware that you`re suppost to bleed outer first then inner,my question is do you do the outer/inner bleeding at the same or do you do lets say all the outers on all calipers then go back one by one and do the inners?


      Thanks

      I just bleed in the normal manner...start with the farthest wheel from the MC.

      First do the outer bleeder on right rear, then inner. Then outer bleeder on left rear, then inner...on and on.

      I like to get a caliper beeding fluid on all the bleeders in that caliper weather it be 2 or 4 bleeders starting furthest to closest, then once all the bleeders on all the calipers have weaped fluid, go back and chase the last little bit of air.

      Also, a little trick. Sometimes when the system is dry, you are better off having someone open the bleeder, you push the pedal to the floor and hold it, have them tighten the bleeder, you lift the pedal, they open the bleeder, you push the pedal to the floor and hold it, have them tighten the bleeder, you lift the pedal, .....................

      What this will do is move fluid down through the tubing without moving the fluid back and forth as you pump the pedal on lines full of air. Sometimes when there is more air then fluid, the fluid simply will not move with the pump, pump, pump meathod. Once you get fluid to each calliper, then you can do the conventional push, push, push, hold, open, close, push, push, push, hold, open, close,.................................
