Two quick questions:

a) What psi pressure do people use for brake bleeding using the Motive Power Bleeder (BTW, thanks Paul!)

b) What is the correct order for bleeding the brakes? (I'm assuming with the brake fluid reservoir on the left hand side of the car, the correct sequence is right rear, left rear, right front, left front.)

Thanks,

I set it at 15 PSI... and that is the the correct order.

no prob!

Yea 15psi is what we usually use. Right now the bleeder gasket is shot, so i can only set it to 5psi or it leaks....but it still bleeds.

Don't our 951s have 2 bleeders on each caliper? Does it make a difference which one you do first?

Mighty Shilling

Yeah, 951's do... and I belive it's Outside to inside...

Good to hear from you, glad the bleeder is making the rounds!

Oh bugger. I've got an S2 -- I think they've got (early - 86-88) 951 brakes, so mine probably should have been bled from both bleeders. I only bled each wheel from the outer bleeder...

How do you get at the second bleeder? Sounds like you have to take the wheel off to get at it...

Yep--pull the wheel--easy access.

you bleed calipers starting with the farthest from the m/c and ending with the one closest to the m/c.
