I have Motiv bleeder, 4 cans of Ate blue (4 DOT), 4 sets of brake pads, and 4 SS Brake lines (DOT Rated).
I know how to bleed brakes the old fashion way, and I read the instructions on the back of the Motiv pressure bleeder. I can do this

Does any body know the correct order to bleed the brakes?
If so would you please post the order?
OR
If you know a way that you have bleed the brakes on your 951 and had good results?

LF
RF
LR
RR
Clutch

Search gone bad.

farthest -> closest

I dont think it matters if your using a pressure bleeder, however i still use the farthest to closest method.

You will love that power bleeder. I can completley flush all the brake fluid in under 45 minutes by myself.

I tried the hyper link and the response was sorry no matches.

I understand the concept of farthest to closest. go that covered so

Cool I can do that!

I am looking forward to using the pressure bleeder.
Last time bleed breaks I replaced the master cylinder in my 83 N/A. I paid this 12 year old girls money to help me (she used it for Cheerleading lessons). I would tell her "pump the brakes" then "now, hold it to the floor". She was not bad help and we accomplished the mission. Every Saturday and Sunday back in 2004. She would help me work on the Porsche in the parking lot of my old apt complex. Normally, she showed up on her roller skates or one of those like skateboards with a handle. It was quite amusing!

This time should be a bit smoother with the pressure bleeder!

Farthest to closest, I can bleed all 4 calipers with 1 can of ATE fluid, so you're more than covered with 4 cans! At most you'll need 1.5 cans...

All those search results and posts, and I am surprised no one asked this question: do you have ABS?

If you have ABS, the brake lines go to the right front fender to the ABS pump, THEN diverge to the individual wheels. The correct order for an ABS-equipped car is:

LR-->RR-->LF-->RF

Having said all that, it doesn't matter much if you get the order wrong.

Doc, i was scared that one can of ATE wasnt going to be enough. I acutally dumped a small amount ( didnt have the gasket in the cap sealed correctly). I had id estimate about 1/8 of a can left inside the powerbleeder. This is in my n/a car though, so i dont know if the Turbo system requires anymore.

One can will do the brake calipers on my 951S, and they're pretty large. If you're going to bleed the clutch, I'd dump 2 cans in there and you should be set.

I have a feeling that the volume differences between the NA and turbo cars is pretty small.

You guys talking about BLEEDING (removing air bubbles) the brakes, or REPLACING all the fluid? I can replace all the fluid with one can, bleeding usually only takes about 1/8 of a can.

Yes, my 951 has ABS
The threads provided a plethora of information thank you for some direction.


The brake fluid in the car looks like dark and dirty. After reviewing the records, provided to by the previous owner, there is no mention of brake servicing. You could probably determine the age of the fluid by “Carbon Dating”.

I was planning draining the fluid from the brake system when I changed brake lines or as much as possible. Then fill the reservoir, pump the brakes, and then begin the pressurization using the “Motiv”.

Bleeding the clutch slave seems like a chore. “OZ951” exclaimed, in one post, even if you ran most or all of the fluid out of the system that the clutch slave cylinder did not need bleeding.

Does the clutch slave cylinder need bled too?

I would, especially if it hasn't been done in awhile. It's really not difficult. I can do it without removing the starter (small hands), and it's no different than bleeding the brakes.
