[QUOTE="Goose17, post: 12275448, member: 137255"] When I pulled my calipers for painting, here is how I bled mine: Start with the wheel farthest from the master cylinder - the right rear, then left rear, then right front and finish with left front (closest to master cylinder). I looked online and got the idea for a self bleeder: I got a small clear Gatorade plastic bottle, drilled a hole in the top plastic lid and inserted clear plastic tubing through the hole. Put about 1/4 bottle of new brake fluid into the Gatorade bottle and then submerge the end of the tubing into the brake fluid (keeps from sucking air back up). Put the other end of the tubing on your bleeder and secure with a zip tie. Open the bleeder and keep pumping until all bubbles are out. You will have to keep adding fresh brake fluid to the master cylinder fill port. I hung out and looked under the car at the clear gatorade bottle to see when the bubbles stopped. Once it is pure brake fluid coming out of the tubing, go close the bleeder securely and hit the other bleeder on that wheel (if there is one) before moving onto the next. This worked well for me since I didn't have help to pump and open/close the bleeder. [/QUOTE]
