Subject:rear brake cylinder replacement / bleeding
From:Ken Sid
Date:Sun, 23 Oct 2005 11:49:26 -0700

Hi all

The rear left (drivers side) brake cylinder has failed and started puking out brake fluid.
I have purchased new pad and cylinders for both sides and a new spring kit. Yesterday I removed and reinstalled all the components on the passenger side and today I will do the drivers side.
Without a Bentley's I have a few question's about bleeding the system.
1. Does this system have two independent hydraulic systems.
2. Having replaced both rear cylinders do I have to bleed the front calipers as well. ( the reservoir looks dry/empty so I would assume I have to bleed everything)
3. What is the order that all four wheels have to be bled in? rear right / rear left / front right / front left.??

Thanks
