DIY Brake Bleeding Question
Has anyone posted a DIY brake bleed for the 997? I've bled many brakes in the past and have great success with the Power Bleeder (positive pressure method). But, I've heard differing opinions on the position, or cycling of the brake pedal on late model, multi-circuit systems during the bleed process. Some have said the brake pedal should be slightly depressed to allow fluid to move within the master cylinder or ABS components. Not sure if there is any truth to this... Any input is appreciated.

Thanks Loren. I see there isn't any mention of brake pedal placement or movement during the process. Have you heard of that requirement? If not, it looks like the standard, age old method.

No, I don't see a need for that. The process there comes from the Porsche Carrera (Factory) Service Manual.
There will still be a small amount of fluid in the ABS that won't get changed unless you use the Durametric Software, PST2 or PIWIS to bleed the ABS. I have a PST2 (and the Durametric Software) and I don't bother with the ABS except when changing fluid brand/type.
