the ones on top need to be bled one on the inside and one on the outside . I have seen bleeders on the bottoms before just a half a--ed rebuild i guess . but there is 2 on the rear one on the front all on top
Are you sure you have an extra bleeder on the rears or only a plug on each outer?
Each rear caliper half, inner and outer, has it's own bleeder. On the outer caliper half, lower rear, you should find a plug. Post a pic of what you're looking at.
I have a 5/16th 1/4" drive deep socket I use to get bleeders loose. Loosen/tighten only. Once the bleeder is loose, I use my 5/16th flare nut wrench for bleeding.
They have their purpose. Rear calipers are swappable; they will fit left or right side. Depending on which side you install them, you may have to take out the plug to connect the brake line.
White75: easy with the socket. You only need loose. If the bleeder feels stuck, leave it, shoot some more penetrant on it, and let it sit a while longer.
Hmm. I may have to look into the speed bleeders.You don't have to wait for, or bother "wifey"....
I installed "speed bleeders" in my Vette and Camaro and love em. They have a small ball bearing in them that prevents air from entering back into the brake system when bleeding the fluid. It allows a one-person process to bleed the system. My wife was getting tired of assisting with this.
I was a bit skeptical at first, but after successfully bleeding the system by myself, I was convinced this is way to do it.
I got the Russell Speed Bleeders at Summit for my Camaro -- but I found a generic set at Advance Auto that cost less. I got these for my Vette and they work just fine.
Got the speed bleeders. They did make the bleeding so much easier. Too bad I still have the problem. I got the ones from Autozone (HELP! brand) for $9 a pair. I like them so much I may get some for my M3 as wellHmm. I may have to look into the speed bleeders.
