Subject:Bentley/Brake Bleeding Question
From:Chuck Mathis
Date:Thu, 27 Sep 2001 21:26:28 EDT

I'm getting ready to change brake fluid in my '85 so I pulled out the big
green book to study the gospel according to Bentley.  The table in Bentley
(47.8a) tells me I should start with the right rear, then left rear (so far
so good), then right front lower(?), right front upper(?), then left front
lower(?) and finally left front upper(?).  What the heck is this upper and
lower thing on the front?   The illustrations on 47.4 and 47.5 show a bleeder
screw and a drain screw -- the drain screw looks to be physically lower than
the bleeder screw but is labeled 'do not bleed caliper from this screw.'
What???

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
