it is not possible to bleed brakes incorrectly...

someone said
it is not possible to bleed brakes incorrectly...

well it is... i did a brake job the other day and i did not have a C clamp... so
i turned the nipple and pushed the piston back.. of course it does not just go back easily so you have to push and push and push.... and struggle...

After i finished i got in the car and the pedal went to the floor... So I am telling you air really does get in... So for the next 30 minutes i had my daughter sit in the car and push on and push off the brakes... I would turn the nipple wait for the stream... Let the bubbles out...After 2 or 3 Bleeds its was all gone....


Now, some one said the brake fluid does not circulate... this is wrong as well.
I have had a nipple problem on the front and I have bleed the back and got the air out.... You will find that you will have good brakes by bleeding the front left and right rear...

Often I stop bleeding when the pedal feels right... So sometimes that means i only bleed one wheel...
