Brake bleeding questions
Where is the vent line to the brake fluid reservoir? I've read that I'm supposed to clamp or block it off, but I couldn't find it today when I looked for it.
When looking at the calipers, it appears that there are two bleeder valves per caliper. I have a 92, which has the 4 piston calipers front and rear. Which bleeder valve should I bleed first, inside or outside?
Also, the Repair Manuals say to drain the clutch slave cylinder. Does anyone do this? Is the drain plug easy to locate on the clutch slave cylinder?
I just bought a Motive power bleeder and am set to bleed to brakes next weekend, that is if I can figure out these last few questions.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Drew,
I recently changed pads/rotors on the front end and I pretty much followed the pertainet info from Pelican Parts Tech source>>>
<a href="http://www.pelicanparts.com/techarticles/mult_bleed_brakes/mult_bleed_brakes.htm" target="_blank">Bleed brakes for Dummies</a>
As for as the vent is concerned there's a nipple on the rear side of the plastic reservior to which is connected a flex hose, then to tubing, led down and to the rear of the driver's side tire. It's essential to clamp this hose off before apply pressure.
I don't have a repair manual...I bled each cylinder from outside to inside bleed vent....I wouldn't think that it's a major concern.
Hope this helps, Kevin
